Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 60
- Price: 40
- Suitability
SPD Part IV: Selection Criteria - A: Suitability - Question 4A.2:
Bidders must confirm that all drivers and their vehicles (taxi and/or private hire car) are local authority licensed to operate a taxi service.
- Economic & financial standing
Part IV: Selection criteria - B: Economic and financial standing – Question 4B1.1 (turnover requirement), 4B5.1 and 4B5.2 (insurance requirements), and 4B6 (other requirements).
Minimum: Question 4B1.1 Bidders will be required to have a minimum “general” yearly turnover of 725,000 GBP for the last 3 years. Where turnover information is not available for the time period requested, the bidder will be required to state the date which they were set up/started trading… - Technical & professional ability
Part IV: Selection criteria - C: Technical and Professional Ability – Question 4C10
Minimum: Bidders will be required to confirm whether they intend to subcontract and, if so, for what proportion of the contract.
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “EC1082 Taxi Services Framework Agreement” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
