Legal form for consortia
Consortium proposed legal structure if the group of economic operators intends to form a named single legal entity prior to signing a contract, if awarded. If you do not propose to form a single legal entity, please explain the legal structure. Southern Water may require the consortium to assume a specific legal form if awarded the contract, to the extent that it is necessary for the satisfactory performance of the contract
Shortlisting
Tenderers’ response to the PQQ will be scored in the order as outlined in the sourcing portal, with those sections marked as Pass/Fail where the Tenderer will either meet or fail to meet the minimum criteria. All prospective Tenderers are required to pass each question within the SWS PQQ response forms. A full response to Qualification Envelope is required, except where indicated. Failure to respond fully to any required question in this section or not being able to meet the minimum requirement will result in the submission being non-compliant and being excluded from the process, except where the SWS Commercial Head determines that a genuine error has been made, and a correction may then be permitted
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.

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