Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 40
- Price: 60
- Suitability
Where it is required, within a bidder's country of establishment they must confirm which authorisation or membership of the relevant organisation(s) are required in order to perform this service. Bidders must confirm if they hold the particular authorisation or membership.
Bidders must advise if they are any of the following:
a) the holder of a valid Taxi or Private Hire Care (PHC) Licence
b) the holder of a valid Public Service Vehicle (PSV) Operators Licence
Please state and evidence the licence(s) held.
Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- 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.
- “Provision of Home to School Taxi Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
