    With reference to SPD question 4B.6 – NHSGG&C will use its financial evaluation matrix which can be downloaded from the attachments area on PCS-Tender to assess the financial stability of tenderers. Tenderers should complete the evaluation matrix spread sheet included in the tender documents and confirm they meet the minimum requirement score. Tenderers with a Score of 50 and above will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. This is a pass/fail question.

    Failure to achieve a score of 50 or failure to provide this information will result in your tender being rejected. Tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested by NHSGG&C. If a minus or GDP 0 turnover applies, please include your last 3 years financial accounts to allow your financial validity to be evidenced.

  • Technical & professional ability

    With reference to SPD question 4C.1.2, tenderers are required to provide examples that demonstrate they have the relevant experience to deliver the services. Examples must be from within the last 3 years. You should use the attached template to provide 2 examples that demonstrates experience that is relevant to this procurement exercise. If you cannot provide any examples you should explain why at the bottom of this template. Your completed response should be no more than 2 pages of A4. The completed document should be uploaded to question 4C.1.2.

    This is a pass/fail question, if relevant previous experience and correct level of service is not demonstrated this will result in your tender being rejected.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 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.
