C. 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 criterion 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 bidders- 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 30%. The Capability Criteria will account for up to 70% of the score.
