Create a weighted evaluation scorecard to compare [Candidate3PLs] for [CompanyName]’s [ServiceScope] across [Region]. Define 8–12 criteria (e.g., cost-to-serve, service reliability, network fit, IT capabilities, ESG, implementation risk), assign weights aligned to [StrategicPriorities], and score each provider on a 1–5 scale using evidence-based rationale. Compute total weighted scores and produce a ranked list. Conclude with an executive recommendation that states decision logic, trade-offs, and next steps before [DecisionDeadline].
Output requirements:
120-word executive summary.
Markdown table: Criteria | Weight (%) | [Candidate3PLs] scores | Weighted Totals.
Risk/assumption log (bulleted).
Action plan (Gantt-style list) for top choice with milestones to contract sign.
Placeholders to use: [CompanyName], [Candidate3PLs], [ServiceScope], [Region], [StrategicPriorities], [DecisionDeadline].
