Summary of tender evaluation scores:
    Quality and Health and Safety:
      Both organisations scored the same score of 80.

    Capability and Resourcing:
      RRA scored much higher (85 v 62.5) as their submission was very professional and
      outlined current and proposed activities in NSW which could be replicated in Noosa.
      Overall their submission was more innovative and expansive when compared to the NCTC
      submission.

    Methodology:
      RRA provided a very clear outline of the services to be provided and the timelines when
      various services would be introduced and how the services would be delivered, resulting in
      a high score of 95 vs 50 for NCTC.

    Environment and Sustainability:
      RRA scored slightly higher (60 vs 50) than NCTC but this had little overall impact on final
      scores.

    Contribution to Local Economy:
      NCTC scored 100 vs 82 as they are a local Not For Profit, and have a good track record of
      providing local employment and training programs for the Noosa community. However it
      should also be noted that RRA also propose to employ locals and provide local training
      programs.

The evaluation resulted in a total score for price and non-price elements:

RRA 100 vs NCTC 78.27
