What is being bought

Published requirement description

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is seeking a delivery partner, through a concession contract, to run a Zero Emission Delivery (ZED) service. This service will support the sustainable travel goals of the Enjoy Waltham Forest Programme by providing an eco-friendly courier solution for all Council departments, suppliers, and service providers. The ZED service will use recent changes to road layouts in both residential and shopping areas, aiming for truly zero emissions. The goal is to cut down on van and car journeys in the borough, reduce the need for private vehicles for shopping, help people from all backgrounds reach local businesses and services, and promote the ZED service alongside business partners’ delivery options

What this means for your bid

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