The award criteria were weighted equally between cost and quality, emphasising the need for economically viable yet high-quality service provision. Businesses capable of delivering first-time fix solutions and adhering to strict response times and compliance inspections stand to gain a stable revenue stream and the chance to foster long-term relationships with a major public sector entity.
