Quote:quote: I think you'll find that most, if not all, tenders are won on price and not quality.
There is a strong element of truth in what you say - but it is a very incomplete picture.
We award to the cheapest tenderer - as long as they comply with our quality requirements, expressed either in the Specification or in a separate Pre-Qualification Questionnaire that we also use, which is 100% quality-based.
Also, we only invite tenders from units that we have a degree of faith in. There are several units that we do not invite, either because we have direct experience of poor quality performance, or because a curator has raised concerns about their quality.
