Award Criteria
| Cost | Price evaluations will be conducted using the CIPFA % difference model for each Lot that a Tenderer is bidding for. The submitted price is compared using a % price difference model and then scored against using the weighted criteria. The % price difference model allocates the lowest price submission the highest score and the highest price the lowest score. The % price difference is scored on the % difference between the lowest price and the price submitted. Where a submitted price exceeds the lowest price submission by more than 100%, this will result in the Tenderer being awarded a '0' for price. The pricing card accounts for 20% out of the total 30% of the cost award criteria. The remaining 10% will be for the commercial award question. Suppliers will not be ranked; customers will complete their own desktop analysis of all successful suppliers before awarding the MAT supplier against their requirements. For Awards Without Competition however, pre-agreed pricing (via the pricing schedules) will be provided to customers to assist with their analysis. Pricing fixed for 12 months from the commencement of the FW. Price changes after the initial period are then subject to agreement in line with relevant inflation rates - any price increases/decreases must be agreed in writing at least 45 working days before implementation and an option to renew annually - for information only. The commercial award questions scores will be added to the price card scores and the full 30% overall score will be the total 'cost' score. The commercial award questions will be based on scenarios to include value for money such as, what discounts suppliers can offer to customers and how they might control their costs for inflation etc. 0-5 scoring methodology Sub-criteria will include: 1. Minimising costs in supply chain - 5% 2. Controlling costs in inflation - 3% 3. Approach to reducing costs to customers for refurbishment/reuse and discharge fees of the gas bottles - 2% Lot 4 - only - cost will be a full 30% from the commercial award criteria. |

Delivery of Fire Safety Training materials - 10% 5. Management of any sub-contractors - 10% Quality threshold - providers must score a minimum of 60% out of 50% to be considered for award. |
