The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lot awarding rule: While this is a business opportunity (and not a tender), all interested suppliers will be asked to complete a pre-qualification questionnaire and a pricing schedule which will be evaluated as part of their expression of interest. We are looking to work with suppliers who are already Ofsted registered. We have a preference to working with suppliers who are local to Leeds, particularly SMEs or VCSEs.
