What it takes to win

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored

The Authority is procuring under SECTION 7, of the PCR 2015, Social and Other Specific

Services also known as Light Touch Regime (LTR). The Authority is using a process similar to

the bid procedure described in Regulation 27 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as

amended). However, the Authority reserves the right to deviate from the formalities of the

procedure given the flexibilities permitted by Regulation 76 of the Public Contracts

Regulations 2015 (as amended) in the conduct of procurements for "light regime" services."

DCC will be using the LTR services, and the Authority will be taking advantage of the

significant flexibility available to them under the light regime in developing its procurement

process.

The contract award decision will be made on the basis of the most economically

advantageous (MEAT) Bid, based on the application of the detailed evaluation criteria shown

in Appendix 7 of the Invitation to Tender (ITT). Evaluation Criteria and Weightings - Quality

80% and Quantity 20%
