Respond to Marlow Borough Council's request for proposals RFP 2026-14 on behalf of Larkfield Analytics Ltd. Answer each mandatory requirement R1 to R10 and each desirable requirement D1 to D3 in turn, using the supplied evidence file for the company, delivery team, past performance, rates, assurance and declarations. Then add a short section that shows where the response answers each evaluation criterion (method, delivery team, past performance, data protection and security) and price. Build every price line from the standard rates in the evidence file (the days of each role times the day rate, or the units times the unit rate) and show the days or units behind each line. Add nothing the evidence file does not state, and do not refer to appendices or attachments that the response does not contain. Put a notice on the cover page that the buyer and the bidder are fictional and the response is a worked example. Inputs: the buyer's document (rfp-marlow-council.md); the bidder's evidence file (larkfield-evidence.md); commercial terms: value 296,000 to 318,000 GBP, valid for 60 days, payment terms 'Invoiced monthly in arrears, payable within 30 days.'; deal context: The buyer and the bidder in this response are fictional, and this response is a worked example.

Propose weekly shop dashboards and a head-office comparison view to Fenwick & Dale Stores on behalf of Larkfield Analytics Ltd, with the supplier owning the data connections to the till, stock and loyalty systems. In any requirements table list only what the buyer's brief asks for; Larkfield's own standards belong in the method. Build every price line from the standard rates in the evidence file and show the days or months behind it. Add nothing the evidence file does not state. Put a notice on the cover page that the buyer and the bidder are fictional and the proposal is a worked example. Inputs: the buyer's document (brief-fenwick-dale.md); the bidder's evidence file (larkfield-evidence.md); commercial terms: value 52,000 to 60,000 GBP, valid for 60 days, payment terms 'Invoiced monthly in arrears, payable within 30 days.'; deal context: The buyer and the bidder in this proposal are fictional, and this proposal is a worked example.
