Award criteria

Weighting Description
The Contracting Authority will be adopting the Price per Quality evaluation methodology, which assesses value for money by dividing the Supplier’s submitted Price by the achieved Quality, Social Value and Interview score. The result of this assessment will be a Price per Quality score measured in pounds (£) and which measures the cost of each quality point. The lowest Price per Quality score will be the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT).
