CONTRACT AWARD MODEL3.1 The Cabinet Member for Housing agreed the proposal that the award of thecontract should be made on a quality / price model with price at 80% and qualityat 20%, provided that tenderers first met the Council's quality threshold.3.2 Quality was judged by requiring the contractors to provide with their tender astatement on how they would operate the contract with particular reference toquality control; programming and resourcing; sub-contracting and customer care.3.3 Price was ascertained by the contractors providing in their tender an overallpercentage adjustment to the National Schedule of Rates, and a rate for theprovision of a Residents' Liaison Officer (RLO).3.4 A financial model was established to ascertain each bid against the notionalannual value of each of the contracts in order to arrive at overall tender figuresfor comparison and scoring of the prices submitted.3.5 In order to arrive at the economically most advantageous bids for the Council, theprice scores were then assessed in conjunction with the quality scores.

The Order values will be prepared by the Council’s quantity surveyors, inaccordance with the Contractor’s tendered rates.4.4 It is proposed that officers will provide a monitoring report, on a monthly basis, tothe Cabinet Member for Housing, detailing the progress of each contractpackage against the planned programme, and providing updated information inrelation to the estimated and final outturn costs for each package.
