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).
Lot awarding rule: Appendix C - Evaluation Criteria Methodology outlines how the scoring criteria will work. There are 7 pass / fail questions, 3 response required quality questions and then pricing. All Quotations will be scored out of 100, split into two main criteria: quality and price. The number of points available from the price and quality criteria is determined by the importance of these criteria to the goods, services or works being purchased and is dependent on the risk and value of the contract to be awarded. Quality - 40% The quality response is broken down into 3 questions, which have a total weighting of 40%, so the maximum score would be 40 points. The evaluation methodology for each quality question can be seen underneath each question. Price - 60% Price has a total weighting of 60%, therefore, the maximum marks available for this part of the RFQ will be 60 and will be awarded to the lowest price submitted by the potential Supplier. The remaining Suppliers will receive marks on a pro-rata basis from the cheapest to the most expensive price.
