Descriptions

This procurement will be conducted through the use of the Open Procedure. The evaluation will be split into three stages as follows: - Stage 1 - the ESPD will include a series of Minimum Standards in relation to mandatory and discretionary criteria which govern the public sector and this specific requirement. These are pass/fail requirements and failure to provide adequate evidence on request of how these requirements shall be met will result in automatic exclusion from the Tendering process. Stage 2 – Technical (Quality) questions are allocated a total weighting of 70 percent. Scores shall be allocated based on the total percentage achieved by the response out of the maximum possible percentage. This takes into account the score out of 4 and the weighting allocated to individual questions. For example if a question is weighted 10 percent and the submission scores 3 points out of 4 for that question then the score achieved will be 7.5 percent out of a possible 10 percent. Bids will be required to achieve a minimum score of 50 percent or more of the technical score (70 percent) in order to progress to the final stage of evaluation. Stage 3 – the Commercial (Price) questions are allocated a total weighting of 30 percent. The bidder who submits the lowest price will be awarded the maximum score (30 percent) and all other bids awarded a score pro rata, in relation to the lowest bid. Both Technical & Commercial scores will be added together and the bidder with the highest score will be deemed to have provided the most economical advantageous tender.
