Each of these aspects will be scored on a 0-4 as set out in the accompanying documentation, and only the five highest scoring candidates will be invited to tender. In the event that some scores are equal such that more than five candidates would qualify, then all candidates with the five highest scores will be invited to tender. Evaluation Panel members shall evaluate the Tender submissions on a Group basis and a single agreed score will be recorded against each criterion/sub-criterion in relation to each submission. The Evaluation Panel shall decide on the response given to the sub criteria as detailed in the Evaluation Matrix and allocate a score of 0-4 based on the response submitted. This score, in conjunction with the Evaluation Matrix, which takes account of the comparative weighting of the criteria being assessed (as detailed in the Evaluation Matrix) shall then result in a score being awarded to each criterion. This is referred to as the Weighted Score. The Candidates securing the five highest overall scores shall be invited to tender. Individual criteria are marked based on the following generic scoring guidance which shows the scores allocated, the description of that score, and its detailed definition: 0 Unacceptable Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement. A zero score with regard to any criteria and/or sub-criteria shall result in the tender submission being removed from the tender process for failing to evidence compliance with the minimum standard of the specification 1 Poor Response is partially relevant but generally poor.
