Evaluation of Tenders
All competing tenders are assessed against the same criteria, which will have been established before the tenders are opened.
Your bid will be successful if it is the one that offers us the best value for money. Bids are evaluated by assessing how suppliers fulfil the key criteria in the specification, and other criteria such as price, delivery date and quality. Frequently, we will interview tenderers who have submitted the best proposals.
A contract is awarded as soon as possible after the evaluation process has been completed.
If you would like to know why an offer of yours was rejected, you are entitled to ask for feedback.
