What is being bought

Published requirement description

Network Rail performs vegetation management as a part of its daily operations to keep trains running safely. Performing this vegetation or lineside management in the most sustainable way is key, and a supplier is needed to help provide guidance to do this. Also, when local stakeholders do not approve, mediation is required to help essential works proceed. The supplier will also provide this mediation service in addition to the guidance mentioned above.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 140 of 200 points: a 10% discount moves about 14 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.
