The contracts started on Monday 30th of September 2024.

The Authority reserved the right not to conclude a contract for some or all the services for which Tenders are invited.

The Authority used the Open Procedure for this project in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 27, PCRs2015. This was a single-stage process which addressed the mandatory and discretionary exclusions (through the completion of the part 1 & 2 SSQ) and quality assessments as a single stage.

The Process was managed on the Due North/Pro-Contract Portal, hosted by Bid-Eastern.

Delivery: East of England
Extensions: Initial contract term of 12 months with a 12 months + 12 months option to extend.Variant bids: allowed

  • Quality: 50
  • Price: 50
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
