Linear price scale formula

Why

The main reason for implementation is that users are able to use this formula in Negometrix3. This formula, in Negometrix3 known as the Weighted Factor method, allows users to determine the range of prices the suppliers can submit.

What

This formula works similarly to Negometrix3, where the weighted price is added to the weighted quality. The only difference is that the P/Q ratio is not set on the highest level, but is determined by the points that are assigned to both quality and price.

How

The buyer can set this formula by default in the BPM, can select this formula in the assistant, or can select it in the round settings. When this formula is chosen, there will always be an additional field that the buyer needs to fill out. These include the range of prices, and whether we allow the supplier to submit a price outside the range.

❗ Note that it is also possible to click on the arrows-icon. This will switch the highest price score with the lowest, in the rare case of a higher price being ‘better’ and should therefore receive more points.

This blue box can be found in the round settings, but can also be found in the price element. These boxes should mirror, so the settings will always be similar. We decided to have two places because we want to prevent buyers from searching for this important setting.

If (one of) the checkboxes are checked, it means that the supplier is able to submit a price higher and/or lower than set. This will change the range accordingly. So if the range was first from €250 til €600, and a supplier submits with €700, the formula will calculate with the range €250 until €700.

Suppliers will always see the range that is set by the buyer. This can be seen in the example below. They will not be able to submit outside this range.
