Award criteria
8. Procurement Decision Criteria
The Council will evaluate tenders in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the principles of transparency, integrity, and value for money.
Bids will be scored using the following weighted criteria:
Criterion Weighting Assessment Method
Price / Value for Money 40% Evaluation of total cost (materials, labour, disposal). The lowest compliant bid will score full marks, with higher bids scored on a sliding scale.
Quality of Materials and Technical Proposal 25% Assessment of product specifications, durability, compliance with British Standards, and suitability for sports ground fencing.
Experience and Capability 15% Contractor's proven track record in delivering similar fencing projects. References and case studies will be assessed.
Health & Safety and Risk Management 10% Assessment of RAMS (risk assessments and method statements), accreditations, and compliance with H&S legislation.
Delivery and Timescale 10% Feasibility of proposed programme of works, ability to complete within 8 weeks, and approach to minimising disruption.
________________________________________
Scoring System
Each criterion will be scored on a 0-5 scale before applying the weightings:
• 0 - Unacceptable: Does not meet the requirement.
• 1 - Poor: Major deficiencies or concerns; limited evidence provided.
• 2 - Fair: Meets some requirements but with shortcomings.
• 3 - Satisfactory: Adequate response that meets requirements.
• 4 - Good: Exceeds requirements in some areas; strong evidence provided.
• 5 - Excellent: Fully meets or exceeds all requirements with outstanding evidence.
________________________________________
Compliance and Exclusions
• Any supplier failing to meet mandatory requirements (insurance, SSQ exclusions, compliance with British Standards) will be disqualified.
• The Council reserves the right not to award the contract if bids do not represent value for money.
9. Compliance with the Procurement Act 2023
• This procurement is a covered procurement under the Procurement Act 2023, and must be carried out in accordance with that legislation.
• The Council must give regard to the following procurement objectives:
- delivering value for money;
- maximising public benefit;

- sharing information to allow all suppliers to understand how procurement decisions are made.
• Conditions of participation must be proportionate and verifiable. If any qualification, experience or technical ability is required, equivalent qualifications or evidence will be considered.
• Technical specifications in this Invitation to Tender are based on performance or functional requirements only. References to specific design, brand, trademark or specific producer are avoided unless strictly necessary. Equivalent alternatives will be considered.
• The award criteria are set out clearly and are measurable. Each criterion is weighted (or ranked) so that bidders understand how their submission will be evaluated.
• Transparency obligations:
- If the Council decides not to award the contract after this tender, it will provide a Contract Termination Notice.
- For contracts above the relevant threshold, a Contract Details Notice will be published.
• SMEs and accessibility: The Council encourages participation from small and medium‑sized enterprises, and will consider whether any requirements create barriers. The Council may divide the contract into lots (lotting) if this allows more accessible competition.
