Create your Invitation to Further Competition Document

Setting Evaluation Criteria and Weightings

All Further Competitions run under the National LGPS Framework for Transition Management Services must use the following Evaluation Criteria:

*This evaluation criteria is optional.

You can set the weightings based on your priorities (within the minimum and maximum amounts allowed), as long as the total equals 100%. For example, if Quality is most important, you may allocate it 80% and adjust the others accordingly.

Quality and Social Value Questions

Your questions will need to be tailored to your Specification of Requirements. The number and type of questions should reflect the complexities of your requirements.

When creating your own questions it helps to:

• Focus on fewer questions that focus on key differentiators.
• Avoid too many questions - this can mean some (if not all) questions have a very small percentage of the marks.
• Keep responses manageable and easy to evaluate - consider the impact response lengths will have on your ability to easily evaluate.
• Set maximum word counts for each question.
• Assign higher weightings to the most critical questions.

Next Steps

Once you've finalised your evaluation criteria and Quality and Social Value questions:

• Add them to your Invitation to Further Competition document.
• Ensure all weightings are clearly defined and aligned with your priorities

Pricing Schedule

The fees quoted in the pricing schedules are based on a set of model scenarios which are detailed in the Pricing Scenarios document.

Further Competition Evaluated Prices - Create your Pricing Schedule

You must clearly lay out your own specific transition requirements and create a pricing schedule which accurately reflects your requirements which allows you to evaluate on a like-for-like basis. It is also worth thinking about whether you would like to include non-evaluated (information only) questions here.
