Currently for SETsquared’s management team and within the SETsquared’s Scale-Up programme for its member companies, support is required to identify appropriate funding calls and establish relevant partnerships (with universities, stakeholders and/or companies). This could be required by other programmes also in the future. Further support is then required by funded grant writers and/or reviewers to ensure a high-quality bid is submitted with the greatest chance of securing funding.

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.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
  • “SETsquared Framework for Talent Pool of Mentors, Consultants, Grant…” 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.
