A benchmark score of 65% or higher is required for the weighted questions within the Question Set in order to be deemed compliant. Where applicable consensus of evaluators will be held, in order to establish an agreed score for responses. Failure of any of the questions may result in a Bidder’s Tender not being evaluated further, past the point of failure. An overall score of PASS is required for the technical sample evaluation within the marking matrices and specifications to be deemed compliant.
