Bid Evaluation Framework - Overview• Three separate evaluation frameworks: Adult Social

Care; HTST; and HTST SEN• Bids will be scored separately against each Lot• Five stage process:

• Initial Gateway Assessment (Y/N decision);• Quality Assessment (initial Y/N decision then scored);• Value for Money (VfM) Assessment (ratio of quality score

to total funding amount);• Overall Assessment (rankings of total quality scores and

VfM scores); • Determination of the Successful Applicant(s)

• Evaluation and scoring by commissioners, the Knowsley Foundation and Mott MacDonald

Bid Evaluation Framework: Initial Gateway Assessment

Bid Evaluation Framework – Quality Assessment

• Low Priority Objectives:• Alignment with wider Council objectives & societal goals e.g. LSTF• Y/N decision – bids that do not score a Y will not be taken forward

• Medium Priority Objectives: • Delivery of added value• Scored (maximum 8) and weighted (x3) = maximum score of 24

• High Priority Objectives:• Robustness of the proposed methodology, delivery against the

core objectives, performance indicators and required outcomes• Scored (maximum 68) and weighted (x4) = maximum score of 272

• Maximum total score for Quality of 296

Bid Evaluation Framework – Value for Money and Overall Assessment

• Value for Money Assessment:• Ratio of Quality Assessment Score / Total Funding Amount

• Overall Assessment:• Two lists of ranked submissions:• Total quality score; and• Value for Money score.

• Banded into green, amber and red categories to identify the bidder that performs best across both quality and VfM

• Bob’s Taxis – funded• Everywhere CT – possibly

funded as an additional option

• Working Together & Access for All – may be useful additional options if funding amount is small

• A to B Taxis rejected due to poor quality score

• Community Health and Wellbeing rejected due to poor VfM

Bid Evaluation Framework – Submissions Against Multiple Lots / Linked Bids

• Submissions against multiple Lots:• Scored separately using the appropriate evaluation framework• Bidders need to be explicit in how their application meets the

criteria for each individual Lot• A decision will be made on scheme deliverability where bidders

are successful in one Lot but not others

• Linked bids:• Assessors will consider if individual bids can be linked together

(within one Lot or across Lots) to deliver additional value• This may be the case if there is no obvious solution or if the same

solution can be delivered across multiple Lots
