Tenderers must submit a separate technical response on PCS-Tender for each lot they intend to bid for. Bidders are required to provide examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver Permanent and Fixed Term Recruitment, as described in the the Contract Notice. The question is split into four weighted sections and should be from the last 3 years as follows: 1. Explain how your organisation has developed and maintained effective customer liaison throughout the duration of a contract. Please provide two past examples. (Weighting 25%) 2. Describe when you have effectively attracted and evaluated suitable candidates as a result of your methodology and approach. Please provide two past examples. (Weighting 25%) 3. Demonstrate how you have positively promoted opportunities and the location of the hiring organisation to candidates out with their local area. Please provide two past examples. (Weighting 25%) 4. Demonstrate how your process for shortlisting candidates has benefited your client and ensured the best candidate for the role.

The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates thorough experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients. 75 - Good. Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good amount of experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients. 50 - Acceptable.

Response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response shows some elements of relevance to the criterion but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate previous relevant experience/ capacity/capability. 0 - Unacceptable.
