It is estimated that the total value of the services over the maximum duration of 3 years will be between GBP120k and GBP135k (excluding VAT). This is the figure which has been used in II.1.5 & II.2.6. Question scoring methodology for Award criteria is: 0 -- Unacceptable -- Nil or inadequate response which fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement. 1 -- Poor -- Response is partially relevant but generally poor. It addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled. 2 -- Acceptable -- Response is relevant and acceptable. It addresses a broad understanding of the requirement but may lack details on how the requirement will be fulfilled in certain areas. 3 -- Good -- Response is relevant and good. It is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding and provides details on how the requirements will be fulfilled. 4- Excellent -- Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. It is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirement and provides details of how the requirement will be met in full. (SC Ref:583418)",
