Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 40.00%
- Price: 60.00%
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Invitation To Tender For The Supply and Distribution of Catering…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

- Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures: The Romero Catholic Academy will incorporate a minimum 10-day standstill period at the point information on the
award of contract is communicated to tenderers. Bidders who are unsuccessful shall be
informed by the Contracting Authority as soon as possible after the decision is made as to
the reasons why the bidder was unsuccessful. If an appeal regarding the award of the
contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations provide for
the aggrieved parties who have been harmed or who are at risk of harm by the breach of the
rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any action
must be generally brought within 3 months. If a declaration of ineffectiveness is sought, any
such action must be brought within 30 days where the Contracting Authority has
communicated the award of the contract and a summary of reasons to tenderers, or
otherwise within 6 months of the contract being entered into. Where a contract has not been
entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the
Contracting Authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the Contract has
been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a
declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Contracting Authority to pay a fine, and/or order
that the duration of the contract the shortened. The purpose of the standstill period referred
to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before
the contract is entered into.
