- No preliminary market engagement: The Authority published a Market Consultation Advert via https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk on 21st February 2024 with reference DN710400. The Authority did not publish a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice in relation to the engagement it has carried out because it pre-dated the Procurement Act 2023.

Supplier Selection Procedure Summary
Lot 1: Direct award to the sole supplier, based on a bill of quantities using the Supplier's Price List.
Lots 2 & 3: Work Orders will be awarded using the following procedure:
- The Client Representative prepares a bill of quantities using each Supplier's Price List, excluding any suspended Suppliers.
- All Suppliers on the relevant Lot are sent:
Design details.
A request for rates for any Rogue Items.
A request for confirmation of availability to deliver works within the Client programme.
- Only Suppliers who respond with both Rogue Item rates and availability will be considered further.
Rogue Item rates may be rejected if inconsistent or disproportionate.
- The Work Order is awarded to the eligible Supplier with the lowest cumulative total value of Work Orders in the current financial year. If values are equal, the Supplier with the lowest bill of quantities is selected.
If no Suppliers respond with both required elements, steps 2-4 are repeated with the remaining Suppliers.

Published award criteria (2)
- Price
- Quality
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Contract for the Design and Application of Preventative Treatments -…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
