How this framework works

From the published notice
Places
up to 9 suppliers · 3 bids received (0.3 per place) · 2 appointed

Lots and requirements (3)Procurement structure

3 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 1 and win at most 3 of them · evaluation weights differ by lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £400,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

Lot #1Supply and Delivery of Heavy Standard TreesAwardedRenewalceiling above

Lot 1 Supply and Delivery of Heavy Standard Trees

Delivery: North East
Extensions: option to extend 1 x 24mths at end of two years · The expected start date for the proposed contract is 1st October 2022. The expected end date for the proposed contract is 30th September 2024. The proposed contract is to be let with an option to extend for a further 24 months from the actual end date. When the Framework has reached the two-year period the Council will determine whether to grant an additional year extension of the Framework and to the suppliers who have been awarded a position on it. If the Framework is extended the Council will re-run the Pricing Schedule, it should be noted that additional items may be added to the Pricing Schedules of the original tender to give suppliers the opportunity to submit fixed maximum rate costs for the further two year extension. The Framework ranking (1 - 3), for the extended year will then be based on the ranking position of suppliers following this exercise.Variant bids: not allowed

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 7 points.

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