Published award criteria (6)
- Solution & Approach : Written response to the Annex A Scope, proposed standard laptop model and rationale; peripherals range and USB-C compatibility; Autopilot enrolment / hardware-hash registration and integration with the SONI087 MSP-owned image; warehousing and UK-wide ship-to-desk/ship-to-home logistics; server product families; and any proposed ownership vs lease vs DaaS model.
- Previous Experience & Client References: Demonstrated track record of delivering comparable solutions of similar size, scope and complexity — including single-model standardisation, 200+ device Autopilot deployment, ship-to-office/ship-to-home logistics and server reseller/call-off. Supported by client references for comparable delivery (minimum 3 contracts within the last 3 years, at least one demonstrating a 200+ device Autopilot fit-out and one a server call-off), verifiable by SONI.
- Service Levels & Operating Model: Proposed supplier-defined SLAs (order-to-delivery, DOA replacement, Autopilot enrolment/registration), account management, escalation and reporting; and the proposed model-update timeline and refresh cycle.
- Product Refresh & Fit-for-Purpose Assurance : Mechanism to keep the single standard model fit for purpose: model-update roadmap/timeline, proposed refresh cycle, end-of-life notification to SONI and to the SONI087 supplier, and substitution/price-hold where the model is superseded,
- Overall Risk & Commercial Model : Risk Register (top 10 risks) plus commercial risk-share, indexation, warranty, warehousing/logistics cost treatment and end-of-life disposal. Where a lease/DaaS model is proposed, its commercial and contractual treatment.

- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “SONI091 Corporate Computing and Infrastructure Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
