This sounds like a weighting system to me!

I keep mixing up the terms, but I think a preferred vendor list is more about having a pre-approved list rather than scoring them like this.

This sounds similar to a practice question we did where we had to rank vendors based on criteria. I feel like weighting system fits best here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about screening systems being used to filter out vendors. Could this be one of those cases?

I think this might be a weighting system since you're assigning different point values to categories based on their importance.
