Procurement weightings for social value

The request was successful.

Hi
I wish to receive the following information:
• The social value weighting applied in all above threshold tenders and frameworks issued in 2021 for contracts or frameworks. I do not require information on products or construction, only services, but if the information is recorded in one dataset, I am happy to “clean” this myself.
• The price and quality weightings used in the above contracts or frameworks. Again, if the dataset contains all tenders, I am happy to “clean” the data.
An MS Excel file is the preferred format but any other format should be ok too.

I do not require any personal of financial data. Note that neither contract awards or notices provide weighting on social value or detail quality/price weighting and so am unable to find these anywhere else.
I do not require the names of suppliers or any commercial information

Yours faithfully,

N CAPSTICK

Dear Neil Capstick,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST

 

Thank you for your recent request received by the Council on 26 January
2022.

 

You have requested the following information under the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000:

 

 

• The social value weighting applied in all above threshold tenders and
frameworks issued in 2021 for contracts or frameworks. I do not require
information on products or construction, only services, but if the
information is recorded in one dataset, I am happy to “clean” this myself.

 

• The price and quality weightings used in the above contracts or
frameworks. Again, if the dataset contains all tenders, I am happy to
“clean” the data.

Our response is as follows:

 

In 2021 the Council issued 1 above threshold contract for services, for
the provision of a Multiple Disadvantage Outreach Team in 2022.  It was
evaluated based upon 100% Quality, divided as follows;
Service delivery - 35%
Service design - 60%
Social Value - 5%
Price was evaluated as a pass/fail criterion based upon a budget envelope
- bidders were required to provide an annual service price that fell
within 5% this envelope.  A price within the budget envelope resulted in a
Pass.

 

If you are unhappy with this response to your request for information
under the Freedom of Information Act then you may ask for an internal
review. Please make a request in writing to the Information Governance
Team at [1][email address]. If you request such a review and are not
content with its outcome, then you have a right to apply directly to the
Information Commissioner for a decision.  The Information Commissioner can
be contacted at:
