What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Welsh Government wants to ensure that appropriate data and information are available and accessible to support self-evaluation, improvement and accountability across all tiers of the school system. Research is needed to understand what information is required or would be beneficial for these multiple purposes at each tier, to what extent it is already available (or could be made more widely available) and what else needs to be created

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 70
  • Price: 30
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
