- Price: 40
- Suitability
Registered and qualified to provide legal advice and support in Scotland including the Law Society of Scotland.
- Technical & professional ability
Qualified and registered to provide legal advice in Scotland.
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Legal Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
