How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Conditions of participation2
  • Suitability

    In accordance with Regulation 59 (12), as this proposed framework agreement is divided into lots, these technical and professional ability selection criteria applies to all lots except where stated otherwise.

    For Lot 1, all economic operators must hold and maintain the relevant accreditation as listed below:

    -NEBOSH General Certificate(or equivalent)

    For Lots 2 and 3 MEWP operators are expected to have relevant industry certification e.g. IPAF

  • Economic & financial standing

    SPD.4B.4: Bidders must comply with the undernoted financial requirements in order to participate in the tendering process:-

    There is a minimum financial requirement that affects trading performance, balance sheet strength and current liquidity. Financial

    requirements for trading performance and balance sheet strength should be calculated on latest filed accounts with Companies House. In

    the event of the Bidder filing abbreviated accounts with Companies House, if the undernoted profitability requirement is not evident from

    the Retained Earnings figures contained in the filed accounts, then a full set of accounts, covering a 3 year period, will be required to

    confirm the profitability requirement.

    Trading Performance

    An overall positive outcome on pre tax profits over a 3 year period. Exceptional items can be excluded from the calculation.

    The above would be expressed in the ratio Pre-Tax Profit/Turnover.

    Balance Sheet strength

    Net worth of the organisation must be positive at the time of evaluation and organisation must not be subject to an insolvency process.

    Intangibles can be included for purposes of the Total Assets figure. The above would be expressed in the ratio Total Assets/Total Liabilities.

    minimum financial requirements for the period in which they have been trading.

    Applicants who do not comply with the above financial requirements but…

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40–50 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 40 points.
  • “Events Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
