Published award criteria (2)
- Price: Appendix 3 Pricing schedule
- Quality: Previous experience 7.50% previous experience 7.50% Contract delivery 15.00% Health, safety and environmental risk management 15.00% Sustainability 15.00%
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “BSS26003 - Nature Recovery Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 54 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.
