Published award criteria (3)
- Technical capability: The assessment of a tenderer's ability to comply with the technical requirements of the service requirements as described within the service specification.
- Social value: An assessment of a tenderer's ability to reduce its climate change impact through 1) the calculation of current direct and indirect carbon emissions, 2) carbon reduction targets and timelines, 3) methodology/process for monitoring and reporting success and 4) actions completed to date and carbon savings achieved. It will also include an assessment of the extent which workforce equality practices are applied across the organisation.
- Price: An assessment of the overall service cost
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 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.
