The Authority reserves the right to limit the number of suppliers progressing to the next stage in accordance with the criteria set out in the procurement documents. Stage 2 – Invitation to Submit Tender Shortlisted suppliers will be invited to submit a detailed tender for the painting and decorating works and associated works across the Client's estate. Tenders will be evaluated based on the published award criteria using the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) approach (price to quality ratio: price30%/quality70%).

The successful supplier will be expected to work collaboratively with the Client, contribute to social value outcomes, support carbon reduction objectives and demonstrate high standards of health and safety, compliance, and service delivery across all commissioned works.
