"description": "As described in the procurement specific questionnaire and the conditions of participation.\nUp to the top ranked 6 suppliers will be invited to tender. \nThe evaluation criteria are included in the PSQ - Questionnaire - Twyford Avenue 305-7. \nThe evaluation of responses takes place in two stages: \n\u2022\tEvaluation of the pass/fail requirements, only when a supplier has satisfied these minimum requirements within the PSQ will evaluation proceed to their case study experience assessment. \n\u2022\tEvaluation of the contract case studies.\nThe PSQ focuses on the following sections that will be assessed on a pass/fail basis - \n1 to 5 - Preliminary questions, including \n\u2022\tSupplier information\n\u2022\tGrounds for exclusion\n\u2022\tSupplier eligibility\n6 to 11 - Additional exclusions, including\n\u2022\tAssociated Persons\n\u2022\tDebarment\n\u2022\tIntended Subcontractors\n12\tto 13 - Financial capacity\n14 - Insurance\n15\t- Relevant experience and contract examples\n16 to 20 - Health \u0026 Safety, including -\n\u2022\tH\u0026S Policy\n\u2022\tSSIP Accreditation\n\u2022\tAccident Reporting\n\u2022\tRIDDOR\n\u2022\tHSE FFI Charges\n21 - Accreditations - Not Used \n22 - Modern Slavery Statement\n23 - Confirmation statement\nScoring of case studies\nThe case study summary list will firstly be checked to ensure the Supplier has met all the Minimum Requirement Elements stated, the right number of times. This is assessed on a pass/fail basis.\nWhere a Supplier has provided further evidence of a Minimum requirement Element in a Contract Case Study beyond the number that is required on a pass/fail basis, one point is awarded.\nThere are no pass/fail elements or minimum number requirements for the Additional Experience Elements. Each Contract Case Study that can demonstrate evidence of an Additional Experience Element will receive one point. So for example, if Passivhaus Certification has been achieved on all three submitted Contract Case Studies, then three points would be awarded.\nBeyond the pass/fail element of the assessment of Contract Case Studies, a total of 19 points are available for Suppliers. \nA worked example is included in PSQ - APP3 CCS Worked Example - Twyford Avenue 305-7\nContract Case Study - Tie Break \nIf multiple suppliers are tied at 6th place through the achievement of identical scores, then a tie-break will apply.\nThe tie-break will take the sum of the scores achieved for the following Technical and Professional Ability Questions:\n\u2022\tMinimum Requirement element # 4 - Contract Value\n\u2022\tMinimum Requirement element # 5 - Use of JCT\n\u2022\tAdditional Experience element # 1 - Passivhaus Certification\n\u2022\tAdditional Experience element # 3 - Managing projects where disruption is likely\nThis will provide one score for each Supplier tied for 6th place and the highest-ranking Supplier will be taken through as 6th place to tender. \nA worked example is included in PSQ - APP3 CCS Worked Example - Twyford Avenue 305-7"
