Acquisition of Formation-Action Type Training Consultancy Services for SMEs

Summary

The procurement concerns a two-lot evaluation framework for bids (Annex III). Lot 1 covers Move Next Step PME / Multisectoral 360° – Qualification, Transformation and Growth of SMEs; Lot 2 TURISMO UPGRADE! – Tourism upgrade. Bids are scored using PF = 0.20 × P + 0.40 × M + 0.40 × E, where P is the total price for the lot excluding VAT, M is the merit of the methodology and the execution model, and E is the organization, qualifications and experience of the core team assigned to the lot. The merit component comprises four subfactors M1–M4 (diagnosis and action plan alignment to SMEs, classroom and on-the-job training, organization and schedule, monitoring and data protection) with weights 30%, 25%, 25%, 20% respectively; each subfactor scored 0–100. The E factor weights are 40% and are computed from E1–E4 (expertise and qualifications of the core team). The final PF is the sum; the bid with the highest PF is considered the most advantageous.
