Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 50
  • Social Value: 10
  • Price: 40
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.

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

Publisher note: A previous tender opportunity was advertised in February 2023 but did not result in the award of a contract and the procurement was abandoned. To improve access to this opportunity and make it easier for potential suppliers to tender we have: -Carried out a market engagement (Request for Information) exercise to check our requirements are achievable. -Reduced the number of requirements and questions to answer -Reduced the number of mandatory or 'Pass/Fail' requirements -Redesigned the evaluation criteria to focus on outcomes and objectives -Reduced the minimum annual turnover from £1m to £500,000
