Quality & Innovation 44% Integration & Sustainability 12% Access & Inequalities 16% Social Value 8% Value for money - 20% Technical quality carried the greatest weighting because successful delivery relies on strong coordination of multiple subcontractors, robust community relationships, and the ability to deliver culturally responsive services at scale. Commercial considerations were weighted lower because the contract value was fixed and capped, and therefore price variation was not expected to be a key differentiating factor.
