How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Environmental | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Scotland, North | 40 | 40 | 20 | |
| 2 · Scotland, Central | 40 | 40 | 20 | |
| 3 · Scotland, South | 45 | 40 | 20 |
- Suitability
It is a minimum requirement for this opportunity that suppliers hold, where relevant to the Lots noted in Schedule 2 of the ITT, one or more of the following industry accreditations (or equivalent accreditation for the country in which they are established):
- Manufacturer accreditation for the Excel product range and one other of the following manufacturers (CommScope, Brand-Rex, Siemon, Connectix, Ultima, Daraka);
- FIA (The Fibreoptic Industry Association) accredited installer or equivalent;
- Q-Mark Fire stopping Installation Certification or equivalent;
- Industry Accreditation such as CHAS or equivalent.
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “Framework Agreement for supply and installation of Network Cabling” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 9 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
