Northwick Clinics is using a weighted scoring model to select a new vendor for telemedicine. Criterion A (Security) is weighted at 40%. Criterion B (User Experience) at 30%. Criterion C (Cost) at 30%. Vendor 1 scores 9, 4, 7 respectively. Vendor 2 scores 5, 9, 9.

Which vendor is preferred, and why?

  1. Vendor 2 is preferred because it has the highest score in the most visible categories of User Experience and Cost.
  2. Neither vendor should be selected because they both have a score of 4 or 5 in at least one category.
  3. The project manager should ask the vendors to resubmit their bids to achieve a tie-break scenario.
  4. Vendor 1 is preferred because its weighted score of 6.9 is higher than Vendor 2's score of 6.4.
