Price was the important factor in the criteria, 60% of the selection weighting, followed by service delivery 10%, quality assurance 10%, business continuity 5%, training 5%, management information 5%, health and safety 3%, exit planning 2%.

The procurement process used was the Chest, the North West's local authority online procurement system.
