Award outcome

Award Criteria

The bids will then be scored based on the below detailed criteria, with the contract being awarded to the highest scoring bid. Taunton Town Council will make an award based on the information supplied in the tender submission alone. Evaluating Bids Taunton Town Council are responsible for obtaining value for money at all times. As far as reasonably possible and practicable, the best available terms will be sought. Bids will be scored based on the following weighting: Price: 30% Quality: 30% Degree to which the bid aligns with the specification and timescales: 40% The total number of marks available are 100. The weighted scores in each criteria will be combined to arrive at the total score. Clarifications may be sought in writing and scores may subsequently be adjusted accordingly. Proposals that are unrealistically low or not reasonably suitable (in the opinion of Taunton Town Council) may be rejected. Once the highest scoring bid has been identified, the contractor will be notified and an Intention to Award notice will be published. Contracts will be prepared as soon as practicably possible. If there are two or more suppliers with the joint highest score, references may be sought to aid final decision making. Please therefore provide details of references for work undertaken within the last three years, including contact details. Assessing Price The lowest cost will be awarded the maximum 30% of evaluation marks. All other bids will be evaluated by dividing the lowest cost by the bidder comparison cost and multiplying the proportion by 30% to give the bid their percentage of the total evaluation marks available. A worked example can be found below: Bid A is £300 so automatically gets 30 marks. Bid B is £500 so gets 18 marks. (The lowest cost divided by the comparison cost multiplied by 30 equals their percentage of the total evaluation marks available. 300/500 x 30 = 18) Assessing Quality Quality accounts for 30% of the score. 30% will be awarded based on responses to the questions below, with the evaluation of answers also set out below. These scores can be revised based on any written clarifications. Bidders responses to the questions will be scored out of a possible maximum of 10 marks.
