Published award criteria (5)
  • Ability to respond flexibly to meet students’ needs: 10.00%
  • Ability to establish and deliver an effective service in accordance with the specification: 25.00%
  • Assurance of continuity of delivery throughout the duration of the contract: 15.00%
  • Understanding and able to respond to the needs of vulnerable students and those with Special Educational Needs, or disabilities: 20.00%
  • Price: 30.00%
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.
  • “Taxi Tender (Student Services)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

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