No. of Specialists to Evaluate 3 Cultural Fit Criteria • Commitment to excellence • Flexible working • Agile and Lean working • Commitment to team working • Your approach to resolving technical and business risks or issues in a collaborative way that maximises productivity and business outcomes. Evaluation Weighting Technical competence 70% Cultural fit 10% Price 20% Questions from Suppliers 1. Regarding the SC clearance status, if the candidate does not hold active SC clearance and is willing to go through the process, can this be considered, if yes will you sponsor the security clearance It is preferred that the candidate already has SC clearance. If not currently held, the candidate must be willing to undertake the SC clearance process. This DOS requirement made it clear that SC clearance is required then suppliers are required to pay and arrange for that security clearance themselves to become eligible and compliant to perform the contract. We can however arrange for special dispensation to allow suppliers to begin their contract and allow them onsite whilst the security process is underway. A caveat to this is that the suppliers contract would be terminated if SC clearance was not granted. 2. What is the lead time for feedback once the application is submitted?
