Award criteria
Criteria the buyer will use to evaluate bids.
| Name | Description | Type | Weighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | The lowest sustainable indicative total price will be given 100% of the price weighting, with other Tenders expressed as an inverse proportion of the lowest price. This will produce the total weighted price scores. Lowest sustainable indicative total price / Tender Price x % weighting = weighted price score | price | 20.00% |
| Quality | The Quality score will be made up of a number of questions relating to sub-criteria, namely: Researcher core functionality; Machine learning functionality; Keep pace with emerging needs; Integration and compatibility with tools and systems; Performance and scalability; Security compliance; Implementation; Test Management; Service delivery, including user management, training and support; User experience practices; Performance management; and Non-mandatory functional requirements. There will be a pass/fail element covering mandatory functional requirements. Draft Contract Criteria - Note that Tenderers are required to complete ITT Schedule 8 (Tender Response Document – Contract) as part of their submission over and above both the Quality Criteria and the Social Value Criteria. This ITT Schedule 8 document specifies which parts of the Draft Contract must be accepted to meet the mandatory Requirements and which elements that the Tenderer is permitted to mark up and provide their reasons for doing so (though please be aware that the Authority does not intend to negotiate the Draft Contract and the expectation is that Tenderers accept it). Tenderer's responses to the Draft Contract shall be scored in accordance with the scoring table set out in the ITT. The score shall translate into a potential deduction of a maximum of 5% from the Tenderers initial total score for Quality, Social Value and Price depending upon the outcome of the Contract Evaluation as set out in the tender documents. | quality | 70.00% |
| Social Value | The social value element will cover the themes of Sustainable Procurement Practices (Policy Outcome 4) and Increasing productivity through physical and mental wellbeing (Policy Outcome 8). | quality | 10.00% |
