3. 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 three categories of criteria: Essential Criteria, Capability
Criteria, and Commercial Criteria.
These criteria have been especially created to help SCI determine which bidder is able to offer the
best quality and most commercially competitive solution to meet our needs and deliver the most
effective programming to our beneficiaries.
3.1 ESSENTIAL CRITERIA
These are criteria which bidders must meet in order to be successful and 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. This criteria is scored as Pass or Fail and will not be
evaluated against capability and commercial criteria.
3.2 CAPABILITY CRITERIA
These are criteria will used to evaluate the bidder`s ability, skill and experience in relation to
the requirements of SCI. All bids which pass the Essential Criteria will be evaluated against
the same pre-agreed Capability Criteria, which will have been created by a committee of
representatives from SCI.
3.3 COMMERIAL CRITERIA
These criteria will be used to evaluate the commercial competitiveness of a bid. All bids
which pass the Essential criteria will be evaluated against the same pre-agreed Commercial
Criteria, which have been created by a committee of representatives from SCI.
All Capability and Commercial Criteria will be weighted accordingly to reflect their importance. The
Commercial Criteria will account for at least 40%. The Capability Criteria will account for up to 60% of
the score.
4. BIDDER RESPONSE DOCUMENT
To ensure bidders provide all the required information in order for SCI to be able to effectively
evaluate bidders‟ bids against the Evaluation Criteria, a Bidder Response Document has been
created. Bidders must complete the Bidder Response Document and provide various pieces of
information as part of their submission.
Further information on the Bidder Response Document can be found in Section 4 of this Tender Pack,
and a copy of the Bidder Response is provided in Schedule 2.
5. VETTING
Prior to a bidder supplying any goods / services to Save the Children they must first be vetted. This
involves checking bidders and key personnel against Global Watch Lists, Enhanced Due Diligence
Lists Politically Exposed Persons Lists. If a bidder returns no adverse findings during the vetting
process, they will be cleared to work with Save the Children.
The vetting of bidders will be completed after the award decision has been made. 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 reverse their award decision.
