Published requirement description

Citizen are looking to enter into a Framework Agreement with potentially 3 - 4 Service Providers for the supply and installation of carpets and flooring options within individual dwellings across Coventry to ensure that we receive an excellent service, which represents value for money. The number of providers is based on the quality of bids received and may be less than that stated above.

Failure to observe this requirement may result in your bid being eliminated.

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored
  • Simple description: Bidders will be awarded a place on the framework based on Citize's Price per Quality Point (PQP) Evaluation mechanism. Here the bidders submitted cost is divided by their total scored wighted quality points. The lower the PQP score the better. Citizen are looking to appoint 3-4 suppliers onto the framework, but may award to less depending on the quality of submissions recieved. There are 3 Pass/Fail questions and then the scored quality questions. Also required from the bidders is a completed pricing schedule (Individual rates and a quote exercise) and a signed form of tender.
What this means for your bid
  • “2024 - 1053 - Supply & Installation of Carpets and Flooring in Coventry” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
