GMCA have run a competitive process and
Seetec’s submission scored highest after evaluation.
3 submissions were received and were sent to a full evaluation
panel. All submissions were checked by GMCA’s Information
Governance Team and were found to be acceptable. The finances of
the bidding companies were also checked, along with the
safeguarding policies submitted.
The Invitation to Tender comprised of 3 parts, covering (75%)
Quality, (15%) Social Value and (10%) Price.
Following evaluation and moderation, Seetec were ranked highest of
the three bids. However, all three providers had submitted Social
Value responses that were deemed as ‘poor’. GMCA
therefore asked all of the bidders to resubmit a revised Social
Value response. Following evaluation and moderation of these
resubmissions, Seetec remained the highest ranked bid.
The Successful provider’s scores were deemed acceptable and
comprehensive throughout their submission and offered an
economically advantageous tender. Seetec scored higher than the
unsuccessful bidders in a number of questions, and the evaluation
panel were particularly impressed with their responses concerning
their mobilisation and implementation plan, their engagement and
stakeholder management, their performance management and
monitoring.
