Can stakeholders understand the award?
Ask for the trade-offs, assumptions, manual overrides and approval trail behind the proposed decision.
How does a search become a qualified supplier shortlist?
Use your own specification. Compare search inputs, qualification evidence, data freshness and the handoff into sourcing.
What happens after suppliers respond?
Ask how responses, quotes and exceptions are compared, and who approves the next step.
