- Price: 40
- Suitability
Please refer to ESPD and attached ESPD questions documents.
- Technical & professional ability
Please refer to Section 2 of the draft contract for details.
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Framework Agreement for Counselling Services for Chidren & Young People” 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.
