How bids were scored

Lot awarding rule: Two Stage Tender. The tender will be evaluated using a combination of pass/fail checks and scored criteria, where suppliers must first meet all minimum requirements before progressing to evaluation. Qualitative factors carry 80% of the total score and assess each supplier’s implementation approach, ability to meet functional needs, data security measures, and contract management arrangements, with mandatory minimum scores required to remain in the competition. Price accounts for the remaining 20%, with the lowest price receiving full marks and all others scored proportionately. In the event of a tie, the highest price score decides the winner, followed by scores in key technical areas if needed.
