This government RFP (HM157526R0039) outlines evaluation criteria for proposals, prioritizing Technical capability over Price. Technical evaluation includes Film Digitization (scanning 10 cans/day/person for a 170M+ image collection), Information Technology (intermediate computer skills for digitization, conversion, retrieval, and storage), and Maintenance (on-site support, equipment training, operations center attire, physical, and safety requirements). Proposals failing to address maintenance comprehensively will be ineligible. A combined technical/risk rating system uses adjectival ratings (Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, Unacceptable) based on approach, understanding, strengths, weaknesses, and risk of unsuccessful performance. Price evaluation focuses on completeness and reasonableness, with the lowest Total Evaluated Price considered most favorable.
