    Company experience pre-qualifying criteria

    In order for your company to demonstrate your catering experience for the Oakwood School your company must have at least 2 existing secondary schools or similar sized schools with a similar operation as a client which the Oakwood School can use as a reference. Your tender submission will not be evaluated if no secondary school or similar sized school can be supplied as part of your reference submission. Secondary and colleges will be acceptable.

    The school has the right to reject any proposals that cannot pass this pre-qualifying criteria.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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