  • Technical & professional ability

    Technical or Professional Ability Part 4C.

    This SPD is designed to allow CFL to review evidence of prior implementations of your software product(s) and should not make forward-looking statements or predict where products or features may have utility for CFL.

    CFL will use the information provided in suppliers’ responses to questions in this SPD to demonstrate that your software product, as implemented, was:

    a. Modern, i.e. was able to demonstrate the use of supported software, was modular and extensible and offered production-proven API integration

    b. Off-the-shelf, i.e. was in use across multiple vessel operators, was built on a single codebase that was shown to be common to multiple client instances, and that followed a roadmap of security and feature releases that were common to the various vessel operator clients using the product within the examples provided.

    c. Market-proven, i.e. was shown to be in continuous use by vessel operator clients, and who have extended their relationship with your organisation beyond initial contract term and have implemented all published upgrades.

    In addition, CFL requires that you are able to demonstrate via previous examples that a range of implementation services, software support and maintenance arrangement (whereby new releases were provided along with support to remedy problems) were included with the software.

    Suppliers should note that evidence of meeting these criteria is expected in the response to each question.

    Minimum: Qualification Envelope: Part 3, Section A, B, C, D and Part 4 Section B will be scored on a pass/fail basis. If any question subject to ‘pass/fail’ scoring be scored ‘fail’ the entire submission may be set aside and take no further part in the competition. Statement for question …

What this means for your bid
  • 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.

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