It is proposed this procurement will be conducted through the use of an Open Procedure. The evaluation process shall be as follows.

The SPD (Scotland) will include a series of Minimum Standards in relation to mandatory and discretionary criteria which govern the public

sector and this specific requirement. These are pass/fail requirements and failure to provide adequate evidence on request of how these

requirements shall be met will result in automatic exclusion from the Tendering process. Each Bidder passing the Minimum Standards will

then be subject to a technical and commercial evaluation.The Technical section is allocated a total weighting of 80%. Scores shall be

allocated based on the total percentage achieved by the

response out of the maximum possible percentage. This takes into account the score out of 4. Bidders will be required to

achieve a minimum score of 50% or more of the overall technical score of 80% in order to progress to the commercial stage of evaluation.

The Commercial (Price) section is allocated a total weighting of 20%. A pre recorded video will be required as part of the submission The

bidder who submits the lowest cost will be awarded the

maximum score allocated to the price element and all other bids awarded a score pro rata, in relation to the lowest bid. Bidders may submit

bids for all or any of the Lots. However, where a bidder is evaluated as successful across all Lots, they will be required to confirm their

preferred appointment, either Lot 1 OR Lot 2 and/or Lot 3 prior to contract award. Where a bidder is awarded a position on Lot 1 it will not

be awarded a position on Lot 2 or 3. For Lot 2 and 3 if a bidder is successful in both, the same supplier will not be ranked 1st in Lots 2 OR

3. In this event a supplier is ranked 1st in both Lots, the supplier will be awarded 1st rank in their preferred Lot and be ranked 2nd in the

remaining Lot with the original 2nd ranked supplier being elevated to 1st rank.
