Descriptions

SNH evaluate tenders against qualitative as well as quantitative criteria. The successful tender is therefore the one that is deemed “the most economically advantageous tender” and this may not necessarily be the lowest-priced tender. The successful tender will be the one which scores highest overall against both Price and Quality. Tenders will be scored against the evaluation criteria set out in the Statement of Requirements that is attached. SNH has weighted the evaluation criteria to demonstrate the relative importance of each criterion. All of the evaluation criteria and relative weightings are set out in the statement of requirements. A Tender will only be deemed non-compliant in relation to a minimum score following moderation of the Tenders.The maximum points available for price will be awarded to the tender with the lowest Price. Each other tendered Price will achieve points relative to the lowest Price. An overall Price weighting will then be applied. In the event of a tie (where two or more of the compliant highest-scoring scoring tenderers have the same total weighted score, taking into account both quality and price), SNH reserves the right to appoint the Tenderer who obtains the highest weighted Quality score.
