How this framework works

From the published notice
Bids received
60 bids received · 47 suppliers appointed
Framework period
1 yr from 3 Jul 2023

Lots and requirements (6)Procurement structure

6 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £1,500,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What it takes to win
i

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 · same split on all 6 lots
Price: 100%
Published award criteria (2)
  • quality: 0
  • Price: 100
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Ad-Hoc Transport Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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