Fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement. 25 - Poor - Response is partially relevant and poor. The response addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled. 50 - Acceptable - Response is relevant and acceptable. The response addresses a broad understanding of the requirement but may lack details on how the requirement will be fulfilled in certain areas. 75 - Good - Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding and provides details on how the requirements will be fulfilled. 100 - Excellent - Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirement and provides details of how the requirement will be met in full. Any Tenderer that receives a score of ZERO (0) or ONE (1) for one or more (of the following) Technical Question WILL be excluded from the tender. Any Tenderer that receives an overall Technical score below 50% out of 100% WILL be excluded from the tender.
