When should SSEB evaluators receive their instructions?

SSEB evaluators should receive their instructions before the receipt of proposals to ensure they are fully prepared to assess and evaluate submissions effectively. Providing instructions beforehand allows evaluators to understand the evaluation criteria, the process they should follow, and any specific instructions related to the evaluation of the proposals. This preparation is crucial for maintaining consistency, transparency, and fairness in the evaluation process, as it sets clear expectations regarding timelines, deliverables, and the handling of potential conflicts of interest. By ensuring that evaluators are well-informed before reviewing proposals, the integrity and effectiveness of the evaluation process are upheld.
