Lot 1

Bid requirements In general, the bid should include the following: 1. Organisational profile 2. Proposed solution and how it meets the specification 3. Financial proposal 4. References 5. Confirmation of compliance with General Terms and Conditions of Tendering Organisational profile: • Company profile, including brief history and financial overview • Case studies/credentials demonstrating relevant experience and skills profile • Names and brief biographies of key staff WFD is particularly keen to receive bids from organisations which are - or are working towards becoming - living wage employers and that have a broadly representative and balanced Board from gender and ethnicity perspectives. Proposed solution: • Clear explanation as to the proposed approach to meeting the specification set out in this ITT. • Detailed project plan, including timelines, assumptions and dependencies, resourcing and risks. Financial proposal: • Full breakdown costings for the proposed solution in GBP sterling • Separate accounting of VAT and/or any other applicable tax, duty, or charge. • Detailing of any discount applied in view of WFD's not-for-profit status. References: • The bid should include details of two references relating to similar goods/services provided in the last three years. Please note - referees will only be contacted once Preferred Bidder status is assigned. Confirmation of acceptance of General Terms and Conditions of Tendering: • All bidders will be deemed to have accepted the WFD Terms and Conditions of Tendering and confirmed their compliance. All bidders should also note the following: • all bids should be submitted in English; • all bids should be submitted in electronic form only; • this ITT and the response may be incorporated in whole or in part into the final contract; • only information provided in response to questions set out in this documentation will be taken into consideration for the purposes of evaluating the ITT; • bids which are poorly organised or poorly written, such that evaluation and comparison with other submissions is notably difficult, may exclude the bidder from further consideration; and • any bids which do not fully comply with the requirements of this ITT may be disregarded at the absolute discretion of WFD. Evaluation criteria WFD does not provide a mathematical formula by which bids will be weighted and evaluated, but the procurement committee will usually consider the following criteria, among others in the evaluation of all responses:  Quality of bid document  Service offer and solution fit to specification  Quality, capacity, and track-record of bidders based on references  Value for money and pricing factors  Professional profile, track record, and references  Relevant experience, including case studies

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security (79000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7913,7424 median · 30.9 average (5,805 of 13,742 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,511 of 13,742 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
