Lot #1The works, each year, will cover approximately 3,000 properties owned/managed by Aster…Renewal

The works, each year, will cover approximately 3,000 properties owned/managed by Aster Group. The annual programme of works for this Lot is estimated to be between 750,000 GBP and 1,750,000 GBP (excluding VAT.) Additional information: Suppliers are to note that there is a separate, on-going procurement for other regions. Aster reserves the right not to award this contract to the highest scoring Tenderer under this process, if they have already been awarded Lot 1 (East) via the separate procurement. This is consistent with the approach previously set out by Aster.

Delivery: South West · Properties generally located in Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.
Extensions: The contracting authority reserves the right to extend the contract for a further one year (12 months.) The maximum duration is therefore three years.Variant bids: not allowed

What this means for your bid

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