The response provides limited evidence of processes, procedures, roles/responsibilities and professional competency etc. The answer contains ambiguities or deficiencies that may not be tolerated. Your inclusion in the final Tender assessment will not be included, as the minimum scoring required is 10 anything below this will be considered not compliant. 10: Satisfactory Response - Response demonstrates a satisfactory understanding of the requirement. The response outlines a level of professional competency. Response includes some key processes and procedures, linked to key attributes of the questions and demonstrates a reasonably acceptable approach that covers most areas, however, lacks depth and supporting evidence. 30: Good Response - Response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding of the requirement. Demonstrable approach that is clear and consistent. Processes and procedures are reasonably well explained and logical. Response is clear, verifiable and covers all key attributes of the question. 70: Very Good - Response demonstrates a strong understanding of the requirement.

Approach is detailed and includes robust and effective measures, with processes and procedures being clearly explained and perfectly logical. It provides specific details and clearly demonstrates professional competencies and relevant works experience in relation to the question. Clear and fully verifiable evidence provided that covers all attributes, providing high degree of confidence in ability to deliver.
