What it does

Rfp Scoring Matrix is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Build a weighted RFP evaluation matrix and defensible award recommendation. Use when asked to score RFP responses, compare vendor bids, build a supplier evaluation matrix, run a sourcing event scorecard, or decide which bidder to award. Produces a criteria tree with weights, scoring anchors, normalized price scores, a consensus-scored comparison table, and an award recommendation with sensitivity check.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Proposals and quotes and Vendor and procurement management. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to score RFP responses
  • Compare vendor bids
  • Build a supplier evaluation matrix
  • Run a sourcing event scorecard

Example prompts

  • “/rfp-scoring-matrix”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rfp Scoring Matrix loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 707 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Build a weighted RFP evaluation matrix and defensible award recommendation. Use when asked to score RFP responses, compare vendor bids, build a supplier evaluation matrix, run a sourcing event scorecard, or decide which bidder to award. Produces a criteria tree with weights, scoring anchors, normalized price scores, a consensus-scored comparison table, and an award recommendation with sensitivity check.

RFP Scoring Matrix Skill

An award that can't survive a losing bidder's challenge — or a CFO's "why not the cheapest?" — wasn't really evaluated. This skill builds a weighted evaluation matrix with explicit scoring anchors, normalizes price so cost and capability are comparable, structures consensus scoring across evaluators, and stress-tests the winner before recommending an award.

What This Skill Produces

  • A criteria tree (categories → sub-criteria) with weights that sum to 100%
  • Scoring anchors (what a 1, 3, and 5 looks like) for every criterion
  • A normalized price-scoring method so cost comparisons are apples-to-apples
  • A consensus-scoring protocol for the evaluation team
  • A scored comparison table and award recommendation with a weight-sensitivity check

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • What is being sourced — category, scope, contract length, estimated annual spend
  • The bidders — names or count, and their proposals or a summary of each
  • What matters most — cost pressure vs. capability vs. risk vs. service, in the buyer's words
  • Evaluation team — who scores (procurement, technical, quality, finance) and any mandatory pass/fail gates (certifications, financial health, compliance)
  • Pricing structure — unit prices, tiers, one-time costs, so total cost of ownership can be framed

If the brief is thin, propose a default weighting and label it [assumed — confirm weights before scoring]. Never refuse to draft.

Weighting & Scoring Framework

Default category weights (adjust to the category's risk profile, then lock before opening bids):

CategoryDefault weightShift up when…
Total cost30%Commodity item, many qualified suppliers
Capability & fit30%Custom/engineered item, integration effort
Risk (financial, supply, geographic, compliance)20%Single-source exposure, long lead times
Service & relationship (SLAs, support, flexibility)20%High change-rate demand, aftermarket needs

Scoring anchors — define per criterion on a 1–5 scale before scoring: 5 = exceeds requirement with evidence; 3 = meets requirement as written; 1 = material gap or unsubstantiated claim. Never let evaluators invent their own scale mid-scoring.

Price normalization — score on comparable total cost, not headline unit price: lowest compliant bid gets 5; others scored as 5 × (lowest bid ÷ this bid). State the volume scenario used. If bids have different tier structures, price them all at the same forecast volume.

Consensus protocol — evaluators score independently first; then reconcile only criteria where scores differ by ≥2 points, discussing evidence, not averaging silently. Pass/fail gates are applied before weighted scoring — a bidder who fails a gate is out regardless of score.

Output Format

Show full SKILL.md (318 more words)Show less
RFP Evaluation: [category / event name]

1. Scope & gates — what's being sourced, spend, and the pass/fail gates applied.

2. Criteria tree & weights — table: Category | Sub-criterion | Weight | Anchor for 5 / 3 / 1.

3. Scoring matrix — table: Criterion | Weight | [Bidder A] | [Bidder B] | … with weighted totals; price row shows the normalization math.

4. Consensus notes — criteria where evaluators diverged ≥2 points and how each was resolved.

5. Award recommendation — recommended bidder, the margin over runner-up, and key negotiation points before signature.

6. Sensitivity check — shift each category weight ±10% (rebalancing the rest): does the winner change? If yes, name the swing criterion and say the decision is weight-sensitive — flag for stakeholder alignment before award.

Quality Checks

  • Weights sum to 100% and were set (or labeled assumed) before scores were assigned
  • Every criterion has written anchors for 5 / 3 / 1 — no unanchored gut scores
  • Price scores are normalized on total comparable cost at a stated volume scenario
  • Pass/fail gates applied before weighting, with any eliminated bidders named
  • Sensitivity check run — the recommendation states whether the winner is robust to ±10% weight shifts
  • Recommendation is defensible to a losing bidder: every score traces to evidence in their proposal

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not average unit prices across volume tiers — price all bids at the same forecast volume
  • Do not set or change weights after seeing the bids — that's reverse-engineering an award
  • Do not let a low price rescue a bidder who failed a mandatory gate
  • Do not average away a 2-point evaluator disagreement — reconcile it with evidence
  • Do not score vendor claims without evidence — an unsubstantiated "yes we can" anchors at 1–2, not 3
  • Do not present an award without the sensitivity check — a winner by 0.1 points at chosen weights is a coin flip, and the readout must say so

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Score RFP responses."
  • "Compare vendor bids."
  • "Build a supplier evaluation matrix."
  • "Run a sourcing event scorecard."
  • "Decide which bidder to award."
