Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: Quality will be evaluated based on: - Method Statements (18%) - Key Personnel and Roles (6%) - Health and Safety Management (10%) - Master Programme (6%) Tenderers must also satisfy mandatory pass/fail requirements relating to financial standing, insurance, health and safety, relevant experience and compliance with the specification.
- Price: Price will be evaluated on the basis of the total tendered cost. The lowest priced compliant tender will receive the maximum available score, with other tenders scored pro rata.
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
