Bolton at Home would like to invite tenders for the provision of a Framework for Communications & Marketing Services. Bolton at Home Group and other Housing Providers may also utilise this framework including Golden Lane Housing, Ongo Homes and Wythenshawe Community Housing Group.

The framework will be for creative design and print services which will generally consist of:-

  • Video, Audio and Photography -
  • Print and Media Services
  • Multi Channel Engagement (inc Employee, Residents & Customers)
  • Graphic Design (inc Website, Digital & Social Media)

The framework will not be split into lots and it is anticipated that there will be a minimum of 2 and maximum of 8 suppliers awarded a place on the framework.

The contract will be awarded based on the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT) and the

evaluation criteria is as follows:

Stage 1 – Selection Questionnaire - Pass/Fail

Stage 2 – Quality inc Social Value – 70%

Stage 3 – Pricing – 30%

It is anticipated the start date for the framework will commence in September 2023.

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored
Quality: 70%Price: 30%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 70
  • Price: 30
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Communication & Marketing Services Framework” 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.
