Evaluation Criteria
Source: 53G_2026_27 - Final Tender Document - THE SUPPLY AND DELIVERY OF SINGLE CEMENT BASES FOR COUNCIL LITTER BINS.pdf (TENDER)Two-stage evaluation: responsiveness (including sample approval) then price and preference points. No functionality scoring. The 80/20 preference point system applies (price 80 points, preference 20 points). Price points are calculated using the formula: Ps = 80
15% of total expenditure = 6 points, >12% up to 15% = 5, >9% up to 12% = 4, >6% up to 9% = 3, >3% up to 6% = 2, >=1% up to 3% = 1, <1% = 0
5% of total profit = 6 points, >4% up to 5% = 5 (and so on, as per table). The highest total points wins. The CCT intends to appoint two tenderers: the highest-ranked acceptable tenderer (winner) and one alternate. The winner receives first opportunity for orders.
