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.
