How bids were scored
Quality: 60%Price: 40%
Published sub-criteria (2)
  • Technical: 60%
  • Commercial: 40%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Commercial: Participants must complete the pricing pro-forma enclosed at Schedule 6. The price will be evaluated as follows. Each Participant's total cost will be compared against the lowest cost submitted. This allows the Authority to calculate the percentage of marks to be awarded and this percentage is then applied to the total number of marks available for pricing 40%. Each response will be compared to the lowest total price or percentage as indicated in the following formula: Score = [[Lowest Price in £/Participant's Price in £] x price weighting]. Results will be rounded to 2 decimal places.
  • Technical: Participants must submit a single response to each of the questions listed in the Technical Questionnaire document enclosed at Schedule 8. For each question, only the information you provide within that specific single question will be considered in evaluating your answer to that particular question. Any documentation uploaded elsewhere, or information not detailed within that single question response document, will not be considered in the evaluation of that question.
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.
