Published requirement description

Traditionally each port has utilised differing contractual arrangements for the testing of bollards and has adopted different methodologies to testing. The most common methods of testing used are load testing and non-destructive testing.

The aim of this procurement is to standardise bollard testing across all UK Ports within the group therefore the purpose of this opportunity is to award an agreement to a maximum of two suppliers to conduct load testing and non-destructive testing services across the Peel Ports Group.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Bollard Testing” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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