What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Dental Supplies Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Publisher note: The University of Bristol are creating a state-of-the-art Dental School for modern dental studies and high-quality patient care, opening in Autumn 2023. This investment will put Bristol at the forefront of Dental Schools in the UK and among the best Dental Schools in the world. Bristol Dental School is part of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, one of the UK's largest regeneration projects and key to our civic mission. Free dental treatment for the community will be offered by undergraduate students under the supervision of qualified staff. Patients will be able to sign themselves up for treatment in 2023.  For more information: bristol.ac.uk/dental. We have great aspirations for this framework to set us on the way to deliver a robust contract that achieves value for money, including not just cost but encompassing a wide range of requirements including security of supply, access to the latest technologies and innovations from manufacturers to support teaching and enhance student and clinician experience, the highest standards of customer service from contracted suppliers, and to support the University of Bristol Environmental and Social Value vision and strategy. In issuing this PIN and seeking to notify the market. The University makes no commitment to undertake these procurements. Non-participation by economic operators will not be taken into account in any future procurement activities and will not preclude and/or prejudice any economic operator from tendering for the provision of these goods and services.
