If PCS-Tender is being used, the Procurement Officer should input the weightings in relation to the specified criteria. Please note that all sections should add up to and all questions within each section should also add up to An example of scoring methodology is provided below and should be used when utilising PCS-Tender:.
An example of a scoring methodology that should be used in PCS-Tender is shown below:. You can include special contract performance conditions as long as they are linked to the contract subject matter. Such conditions may cover economic, innovation-related, environmental, social or employment-related conditions.
If specific performance conditions are to be used they must be included in the Prior Information Notice or the Contract Notice and in the Procurement Documents. At Award Stage Bidders may be requested to supply the names and professional qualifications of the staff involved in the performance of the contract.
A clearly documented process must be followed in order to ensure there are satisfactory responses from suppliers and no inconsistencies in the procurement process, which could ultimately result in a legal challenge. Any failure in this respect will leave the procurement suspect to audit scrutiny and legal challenge.
The distinction between selection and award criteria is crucially important. The Procurement Officer must maintain a clear distinction between both throughout the procurement process. However, you can apply different aspects at selection and award if relevant i.
Although the selection and award criteria must be developed and managed quite separately, it is possible for Procurement Officers to conduct these stages simultaneously or in any order where the procedure allows.
For instance, when using an Open Procedure it may be desirable to assess the tenders award stage prior to checking minimum criteria are met when only a small number of bids have been received. Where this is done you must still ensure that you verify the absence of grounds for exclusion and of fulfilment of the selection criteria.
This needs to be carried out in an impartial and transparent manner so that no contract is awarded to a bidder that should have been excluded or does not meet the selection criteria. Example areas that are commonly known as "selection" and "award" criteria are listed in the table below:. Selection Criteria. Award Criteria. Technical and professional qualifications, capability including experience. Economic and financial standing.
Organisations are required by law to include such conditions relating to the performance of the contract as are reasonably necessary to ensure that the bidder which is awarded the contract complies with environmental, social and employment law in performing the contract, providing that these are linked to the subject matter of the contract, and are indicated in the call for competition or the procurement documents.
If specific performance conditions are to be used they must be included in the Prior Information Notice where it is the call for competition or the Contract Notice and in the Procurement Documents. Bidders may be requested to state, in their tender or request to participate, the names and professional qualifications of the staff involved in the performance of the contract. The assessment may take the form of a face to face meeting, or be performed virtually as determined by the IOA.
The IOA will identify what documentation you will need to have readily available and organized for the assessment to be completed efficiently and effectively. It is also important for all applicable personnel to be in attendance or available during the assessment. Doing so will allow the IOA to review and sample your sales data prior to the assessment, possibly reducing the amount of time necessary to complete the assessment process.
These processes could include, but are not limited to: Sales tracking system Trade Agreements Act compliance Basis of Award customer discount monitoring Scope of contract. Depending on the number of orders involved, the IOA may review a sample from your sales data. Both GSA and non-GSA orders will be reviewed in order to ensure that your sales tracking system is functioning to provide accurate and complete sales reporting for MAS contract sales.
Each GSA order will be reviewed to check for the following things: The correct GSA-approved pricing was extended to all GSA customers Any open market items provided as part of a contract order were properly identified to the customer All deliverables were provided within the contractually negotiated terms. Shortly after the completion of the contractor assessment with the IOA, the report is completed and made available simultaneously to both the contractor and the Contracting Officer.
The Assessment Report provides a "snapshot" of your firm's ability to meet important terms and conditions of your contract at the time of the contractor assessment. Its purpose is to identify areas where you are successful as well as areas needing improvement. The Assessment Report is an internal informational tool used by the contractor as well as GSA to highlight areas of potential concern--it is not distributed externally.
The Assessment Report is designed to provide contractors with helpful feedback on how they are managing the many obligations that come with holding a Schedule contract. It deals strictly with performance against contract terms and conditions and is visible only within GSA and to the individual contractor. This unique feature allows two or more contractors to work together to meet agency requirements for orders that they might not qualify for independently.
CTAs can apply to several items within the same Schedule, or can be combined across two or more Schedules. Each CTA member benefits by having reportable sales for their individual contracts. Customers benefit from buying a total solution in one purchase rather than making separate purchases from two or more contractors.
The TAA limits the country of origin for products sold through your schedule contract, in general, this means the following may be sold: Articles that are wholly the growth, product, or manufacture of the U.
For services, country of origin is determined by the country in which firm providing the services is established.
Please refer to the TAA clause in your contract for complete details, including relevant definitions and the list of designated countries. Remember that it is the responsibility of each Schedule vendor to ensure that product information is accurately incorporated into the contract and displayed on GSA Advantage! It is a good practice to periodically review the country of origin of products offered on your GSA contract, as manufacturers sometimes change their manufacturing points.
If you determine that a product country or origin has changed, the following directions can assist you in updating GSA Advantage!. Start new topic. Recommended Posts. OldGrayi Posted December 22, Posted December 22, Good morning all. This clause applies to only those Business Units.
