Assessment criteria
Submissions
will be assessed objectively on the basis of quality and price, and chosen on
the basis of which one the jury wanted to get the job before the tender notice
was issued:

Consultancy team [15%]
Team
composition, leadership experience and commitment, inter-disciplinary
approach; breadth of experience, track record; creativity/innovation,
technical, commercial and presentational abilities.
Q Being
more concerned with expedient, stereotypical design and delivery through
contractor-led ‘partnerships’ than
freshness of approach, creativity and design direction – please describe two
projects of a similar nature that you have completed within the last two
years.
Q With
the client’s desire for bureaucracy,
cutting costs and reducing design to an assembling of parts from a catalogue
at the expense of creativity, design leadership and quality – please confirm
how you would use BIM on this project.

Understanding
of context and issues; methodology and organisation; application of

including that of demand and viability; commercial and technical ideas;
deliverability and funding.

project?
Interviews [15%]
