    Selection criteria as stated in the procurement documents

  • Economic & financial standing

    The Authority will use Experian to check the financial viability stability / risks associated with a Tenderer, and require that they have at

    least a score of 51 out of 100 or ‘Below Average Risk’. Failing that, the Authority will use reasonable measures to ensure that appointing

    the Tenderer does not provide an elevated risk in terms of their financial stability and will request such information as may be reasonable

    necessary to ascertain that.

Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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