Issue details

GMCA have run a competitive process and TGC submission scored highly after evaluation.

1 submission was received and was sent to a full evaluation panel. The submission was checked by GMCA’s Information Governance Team and was found to be acceptable. The finances of the bidding company were also checked.

The mini-competition comprised of 2 parts, covering (80%) Quality, (20%) Social Value via the social value portal. In addition to the scored quality evaluation bidders were requested to complete 4 pass/ fail questions looking at OFSTED, Economic & Financial Standing, Information Governance & Safeguarding.

The successful provider’s scores were deemed acceptable and comprehensive throughout their submission. Despite being the only bid, the evaluation panel felt that TGC scores were sufficient for the procurement process to continue without reopening this tender to the market. The panel were pleased with the bidder’s delivery model mobilisation plan, and responses looking at track record, engagement and stakeholder management, as well as performance management and monitoring.
