What is being bought

Published requirement description

Forest Service intends to establish a multi-supplier Framework where call-off contractual arrangements will be awarded in order to support its in-house maintenance operations. The Framework is designed to provide Forest Service with a facility to have overspill work undertaken which occurs when in-house capacity is not sufficient to meet operational requirements.

CPV: Miscellaneous repair and maintenance services · Repair and maintenance services · Repair and maintenance services of motor vehicles and associated equipment · Repair, maintenance and associated services of vehicles and related equipment

How bids were scored
Price: 100%
Published award criteria (1)
  • Price: 100
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “DAERA - Forest Service - Repair and Maintenance of Road Vehicles (ID…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 10 suppliers, not a single contract.

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