Description
12 quality ratings must be satisfied and scoring will be made against these quality ratings. The tender can be completed in any format, however, it must provide evidence of how the contract will be delivered, including any evidence that the quality ratings can be met. Evidence must be provided if scoring is to be accurate. Lack of evidence against the quality ratings and contract will result in either no scores, or low scores. Any added value above and beyond that laid out in the contract can be submitted as additional information. The College would prefer the current staff to remain with the College under negotiation due to the recruitment processes and retained knowledge. Should more than one contractor be selected at initial scoring it is likely that a presentation will be requested. The date for these will be Monday 15 September 2025.
