Published sub-criteria (2)
- Demonstrations: 40%
- Price: 60%
Published award criteria (2)
- Demonstrations: At this stage of the procurement, Suppliers will be invited to demonstrate the Command and Control functionalities of their proposed solution, showing how it will effectively meet the requirements of the Contracting Authority. Suppliers should note that the demonstrations are the sole method and opportunity to evidence their solution's ability to meet the specified requirements. No written response is required for this criterion, and no written submissions will be evaluated. Attendance at the demonstration is therefore mandatory for Suppliers wishing to be considered for award of the Contract. Suppliers who do not attend the demonstration will not be considered further in the procurement process.
- Price: Price will be evaluated on the total Contract Period cost, covering all requirements. Pricing will be assessed across: Implementation & Milestones Costs (incl. Hardware) - 10% Annual Licensing, Support, Maintenance & Other Costs - 50% The lowest price for each element receives full marks, with all other bids scored pro‑rata against the lowest‑cost submission.

Conditions of participation and gateway stage
- 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.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
