The Authority will consider both quality and price in the evaluation of tenders. These reflect the relative importance and are scored as follows:\nCriteria and maximum Score Available\nPrice (excluding VAT)\t60\nTechnical specification 20\nTrade references 10\nSocial Value 10\nTotal 100\nThe full evaluation methodology breakdown and the factors to be considered in judging the award criteria are set out below.\nPrice - The calculation that will be used is as follows:\nScore = Lowest Tender Price/Tender Price x 60 (maximum mark available)\nTechnical specification - Where there is an exact match to the specification in 4.2 and 4.3, the maximum score will be awarded. Where the match is 80% the score will be 16, 60% the score will be 12, 40% the score will be 8.\nTrade references - Where both trade references are received the maximum score will be awarded. Where only one is received the score will reduce to 5.\nSocial Value - Where five statements or policies are provided the maximum score will be awarded, this will reduced by 2% for each area not covered.\nThe Potential Provider that achieves the highest total score will be awarded the Contract. \nIf two or more Potential Providers obtain the highest total score, the Potential Provider with the highest score for the Price element will be deemed the winner and awarded the Contract.  \nIf the Authority receives only one Tender, the Potential Provider will be awarded the Contract provided that they meet the Minimum Total Score of 70."
