Alternative options considered

Option 1 - The value of the Contract for the
supply of Services required an OJEU compliant route. An open tender
was deemed the most efficient compliant route to deliver value for
money.
In addition, after completing the quality and social value scoring,
and adding this to price weighting for each Lot, the most
economically advantageous tender received was chosen.
