Published requirement description

The Authority seeks to establish a multi-supplier Framework to provide Energy Efficiency

Retrofit measures in accordance with PAS 2035 for domestic and public buildings along with

any required refurbishment works for its Members and other Public Sector Contracting

Bodies. The Framework is split into two Lots

The authority seeks to appoint up to 8 suitably qualified Principal Contractors able to

provide the full requirements.

CPV: Architectural, engineering and surveying services · Building completion work · Building installation work · Central-heating radiators and boilers and parts · Electricity · Installation services of electrical equipment · Roof works and other special trade construction works · Solar energy · Steam, hot water and associated products

What this means for your bid

Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“Decarbonisation Retro-Fit Framework (Including Refurbishment works)…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 16 suppliers, not a single contract.

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