What it takes to win

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 7 lots
Quality: 60%Price: 40%

Published award criteria (2)
  • Pricing
  • Quality
Lot distribution rule: Contractors can bid for all LOTs but contractors who are successful in Lot 6 – Whole house will be excluded from being a named contractor for Lot 3,4 & 5 to allow more opportunities for local SME’s specialising in particular Lots. Only in the event Lot’s are not maximised will Lot 6 contractors be considered.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “ateb Retrofit Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 30 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

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