Record a non-lowest-price selection

Explain why a supplier other than the lowest evaluated price is the accountable choice.

FOR
Procurement, Approver
OUTCOME
Use RAQOZ to explain why a supplier other than the lowest evaluated price is the accountable choice.

Before you begin

  • The preceding purchase record exists in the intended organisation.
  • Your role permits the action and any assignment is addressed to you.

Guidance

  1. 1

    Confirm the comparison is complete and that the price difference is understood.

  2. 2

    Record the operational, technical, risk or commercial reason for the selection.

  3. 3

    Satisfy any active rule requiring additional approval, evidence or waiver.

  4. 4

    Keep the chosen quotation and rationale linked to the purchase order.

Evidence RAQOZ retains

  • Comparison and lowest evaluated option
  • Selection rationale
  • Required approval or waiver

Common issues

The next action is not available.

Confirm the current record state, your role or assignment, and any missing policy evidence. Resolve the source condition rather than creating a parallel record.

The purchase needs an exception.

Keep the original result visible and use the configured correction, waiver or override path with an attributable reason.
