AWARD CRITERA
SCI is committed to running a fair and transparent tender process, and ensuring that all bidders are treated and assessed equally during this tender process. Bidder responses will be evaluated against four weighted categories of criteria: Essential Criteria, Sustainability Criteria, Capability Criteria, and Commercial Criteria.
ESSENTIAL CRITERIA
Criteria which bidders must meet in order to progress to the next round of evaluation. If a bidder does not meet any of the Essential Criteria, they will be excluded from the tender process immediately. These criteria are scored as ‘Pass’ / ‘Fail’.
SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA (10%)
Criteria used to evaluate the impact a supplier has on the environment, local economy and community. Bids will be evaluated against the same pre-agreed Criteria.
CAPABILITY CRITERIA (70%)
Criteria used to evaluate the bidders ability, skill and experience in relation to the requirements. Bids will be evaluated against the same pre-agreed Criteria.
COMMERIAL CRITERIA (20%)
Criteria used to evaluate the commercial competitiveness of a bid. Bids will be evaluated against the same pre-agreed Criteria.
VETTING
Successful bidders must be successfully vetted. This involves checking bidders and key personnel against Global Watch Lists, Enhanced Due Diligence Lists and Politically Exposed Persons Lists.
The vetting of bidders will be completed after the award decision and prior to any contract being signed, or orders placed. If any information provided by the Bidder throughout the tender process is proved to be incorrect during the vetting process (or at any other point), SCI may withdraw their award decision.
