Lesson Learned
Evaluation criteria for procurements should be considered carefully. The tools purchased for the COSDEC sub-activity were procured from a supplier who won the procurement based on the lowest price. Unfortunately, the tools of very low quality that did not meet stakeholder expectations. For procurements such as this where quality can vary substantially, it is recommended to also consider quality when evaluating proposals.
