Evaluation Criteria

The information required by the Respondent in will be used to evaluate responses in accordance with pre-established Mandatory Participation Criteria, Non-Cost Criteria, and Cost Criteria.

Mandatory Participation Criteria will be assessed on a Yes/No basis and MUST be met by the Respondent. If a response fails to fully comply with any of the outlined Mandatory Criteria, Council may deem the Response to be non-conforming and therefore not be eligible to be shortlisted or progress any further in the evaluation process.

Non-Cost and cost criteria will be evaluated as weighted criteria by the Evaluation Panel for determining an overall value for money evaluation of the Respondent’s submission. Failure to fully comply with Non-Cost and Cost Criteria may reduce the Respondent’s overall score but will not result in the exclusion of the Response from further consideration.
