Selection criteria as stated in the procurement documents ppf.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html ↗
- Technical & professional ability
Accredited coaching professional qualification such as, but not limited to, Coaching Diploma, CIPD Coaching Qualification, University Degree or Masters in Coaching or recognised equivalent
- Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Coaching Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
