White Ribbon - Young People Theatre Brief

 

To assist companies bidding for this contract, I can clarify our approach to evaluating quotations.

 

We will score quotations against two separate criteria:  

 

1. Pricing – as stated in the brief the maximum budget we have for this project is £3000.  40% of the total marks for the contract will be awarded for the competitiveness of your pricing.

 

2. Quality - 60% of the total marks for the contract will be awarded for the quality of your proposal, this should describe:

a.       Your approach to working with the three targeted schools

b.      The content of the delivery including outline lesson plans, learning outcomes and evidence of previous outcomes, where you have delivered similar project to young people  

c.       Your plan for monitoring and evaluating the impact of the delivery

d.      Your approach to responding to any disclosures made by young people

 

Following scoring of quotations, the Council will shortlist a number of companies for interview.  Shortlisted companies will be notified during w/c 8^th September and offered a range of interview slots during w/c 15^th September.  Interviews will take place at Redditch Town Hall or via Skype.

 

Companies shortlisted for interview must provide at least two appropriate references who will be contacted prior to the interviews.

 

We expect to make an offer of work to the successful company during w/c 21^st September.

 

We plan for delivery of performances to take place during either w/c 4^th, 11^th or 18^th November.  Companies bidding for the contract must advise us in writing by return of any dates during these weeks when you are unavailable to perform.

 

I hope the above helps to clarify our intentions.  Companies should submit any amendments or clarifications by close on Friday 15^th August either via email to myself or hard copy to Town Hall, Walter Stranz Square, Redditch, B98 8AH.

 

Don’t hesitate to make contact if you have any further questions

 

Kind Regards

 

Sarah
