How bids were scored
Published sub-criteria (2)
- Technical: 40%
- Commercial: 60%
Published award criteria (2)
- Commercial: Each Participant’s total cost will be compared against the lowest cost submitted. This allows the Authority to calculate the percentage of marks to be awarded and this percentage is then applied to the total number of marks available for pricing [60 %]. Each response will be compared to the lowest total price or percentage as indicated in the following formula: Score = [[Lowest Price in £/Participant’s Price in £] x price weighting]. Results will be rounded to 2 decimal places.
- Technical: Participants must submit a single response to each of the questions listed in the Technical Questionnaire document. For each question, only the information provided specifically within that specific single question will be considered in evaluating the answer to that particular question. The Technical Section will be scored by an evaluation panel made up of relevant officers using a pre-defined scoring methodology. The weightings allocated to each criterion will be applied to the relevant score to produce a weighted score. The aggregate weighted score will then be calculated.
What this means for your bid
- 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.
