What is being bought

Published requirement description

Havering Education Services (HES) established a Brokerage Service in 2013 as a dedicated collaborative procurement support mechanism for schools and settings, which enables them to access a wide range of suppliers of goods and services that have been selected through a compliant procurement route and who demonstrably deliver value for money and high-quality products and services to schools and settings. This requirement is for a new multi supplier framework agreement for the provision of educational supplies.

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.
  • “BC-10751 HAT Educational Supplies Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract.

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