The lotProcurement structure

single lot · no lot value published
Lot #1NES propose to award a ranked supplier solution for the provision of Actor Services…Awarded

NES propose to award a ranked supplier solution for the provision of Actor Services from a maximum of three suppliers. This will allow for the direct award of the sourcing and provision of Actor Services across directorates. Suppliers shall be ranked according to the score they receive on this Tender response. Once the ranked suppliers are listed the first ranked supplier shall be approached as and when required to source and provide Actor Services. Should this supplier be unable to provide Actor Services as set out in the requirements, the second ranked Supplier will then be approached, then the third. NES also reserves the right to approach all suppliers on the ranked solution for more complex requirements.

Quality: 80%Price: 20%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 80
  • Price: 20
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “C002090 Provision of a Framework of Agencies to Provide Actors” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

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