How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Conditions of participation3
  • Suitability

    Bidders will be required to demonstrate they have the appropriate competencies and hold specific qualifications and/or accreditations as appropriate for the scope of services expected to be delivered through each workstream.

    Please refer to the RS5M ITT for further information regarding associated requirements.

  • Economic & financial standing

    For the financial stability assessment, LHCs' financial team will undertake the following process to carry out a robust assessment of a Bidders' financial standing:

    1. Credit score - LHC use Creditsafe to carry out initial checking of a Bidders' financial status and help inform the subsequent assessments carried out by LHC. Should any financial risk or low score be flagged within the Creditsafe information, LHC may also review independent reports from other credit referencing agencies such as Equifax, Dunn & Bradstreet and Baker Tilly to help inform our assessment.
    2. Annual Turnover - Bidders will be assessed based on their average annual turnover for the past 3 years by comparison to the minimum turnover requirements set out in the contract notice and/or tender document documents for the lot/s they have applied for.
    3. Profitability, Stability and Liquidity Assessment - Bidders will be assessed on their financial stability based on a range of financial information obtained from the Bidders annual accounts.
    Minimum: The minimum turnover for all workstreams is set £1,000,000 per annum
  • Technical & professional ability

    General Technical Questions - These are general quality questions that LHCPG consider to be equally applicable to all workstreams. Irrespective of the number of lots the Bidder is applying for they will only need to complete this once, and the scores provided by LHC following our assessment will be applied consistently for all lots the Bidder applies for. A Bidder response template for these questions is provided.

    Workstream Specific Technical Questions - The template/s required to be completed are dependent on the lots the bidder is applying for. A Bidder response template for these questions is provided.

    Minimum: There will be a total of four general questions and three technical specific workstream questions. Each question will be scored from 0 - 5, with the scoring matrix available in the published ITT. LHC reserves the right to reject submissions that do not achieve at least 50% of the…
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
  • “Roofing Systems” 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.
