What this means for your bid

Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
“Catering Single Use and Reusable Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 60 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Review and risk notes

Review procedure: The authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no
deselection notification has previously been made)applied to be selected to tender, of its
decision to award the framework agreement which notification will contain among other
information,
a summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will
incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if
the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which
the authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to
conclude the relevant framework agreement.
The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will
automatically continue the prohibition on entering into the framework agreement until the
court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim
order, brings
to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the
framework agreement has been entered into include the setting aside of the decision to
award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court
proceedings against the
authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework
agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts
(Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be
awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to
the award of damages. Economic operators are entitled to write to the authority after receipt
of the notification should they require further clarification. The authority will respond within
15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such
request during the standstill period may not prevent the authority from awarding the
framework agreement following the expiry of the standstill period. Economic operators should
approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is
to apply to the courts:
An economic operator that suffers or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a
breach of duty under the Public Contracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement
Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the court of session
