Three references from similar services within the last three years are mandatory. Evaluations focus on business relations, service quality, scheduling, and customer satisfaction, considering both the recency and relevancy of the past performance data. 3. **Price Factor**: While price itself isn't scored, it is analyzed for reasonableness and completeness. The evaluation may involve price analysis techniques to ensure fairness and balance, and to identify any unbalanced pricing that could indicate performance risk.
