✓Answer against the marking scheme, not the question text — Highland Council scores each response, so map your evidence to the published criteria and weightings.
✓At £975,000, expect quality and social value to carry a large share of the score — price alone rarely wins services work.
✓Show recent, comparable delivery: name similar services contracts you've delivered for public bodies, with measurable outcomes.
✓Start early: it closes 19 October 2026 and a strong bid takes iteration.
