What it takes to win
i

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 · same split on all 12 lots
Quality: 45%Price: 45%Social value: 10%
Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 45
  • Social value: 10
  • Price: 45
Conditions of participation1
  • Suitability
    • O’ Licence to operate PSV buses here is an overview of the licence: www.gov.uk/apply-vehicle-operat… ↗
    • PCO Licence for all taxi’s (this is issued by TFL)
    • Staff driving any minibuses are required to hold a PSV licence: You need a public service vehicle (PSV) operator's licence to: operate a vehicle for hire or reward (payment or payment in kind) that can carry 9 or more passengers OR operate a smaller vehicle carrying passengers and charging separate fares for the journey.
    • All taxi drivers are to hold a PCO licence.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points. Quality carries 45 of 100: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “SEND and Childrens Social Care Transport Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 25 suppliers, not a single contract.

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