4. Submission Requirements
Submit:
• Technical design

5. Evaluation Framework
Total Score = 100%
• Price = 40%
• Quality / MAT = 60%
This ensures both price and technical performance are considered fairly.
5.1 Price Evaluation (40%)
• Lowest compliant price = full 40%
• Other prices scored proportionally using plain formula:
Price Score (%) = (Lowest Bid ÷ This Bid) × 40
• Round to 0.1%
• Ensures price remains a key factor
Example:
• Lowest bid = £18,000 → Price Score = 40%
• Another bid = £22,000 → Price Score = (18,000 ÷ 22,000) × 40 = 32.7%
5.2 Quality / MAT Evaluation (60%)
Councillors will score tenders based on performance, not clarity.
