Published description of the framework
Suppliers will be appointed to individual Lots following evaluation in accordance with the published award criteria. Tenderers may bid for any number of Lots but may be appointed to a maximum of two Lots.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · General Repairs | 30% | 70% | |
| 9 · Whole House Refurbishment | 30% | 70% | |
| 2 · Gas, Heating & Plumbing Repairs (inc OOH) | 30% | 70% | |
| 3 · Heating Installations | 30% | 70% | |
| 4 · Roofing Repairs | 30% | 70% | |
| 5 · Highway Works | 30% | 70% | |
| 6 · Doors & Windows (Glazing) | 30% | 70% | |
| 7 · Drainage & Groundworks | 30% | 70% | |
| 8 · External Garden Works | 30% | 70% |
- Price carries 70 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 7 points.
- “BAF26028 – DLO SUPPORT FRAMEWORK” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly. Contracts Finder appears in live search, the Retender Radar, contract pages, organisation counts and the buyer's decision figure; the other analytical figures are built from Find a Tender notices.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

Bron Afon Community Housing, in partnership with Barcud Shared Services, is undertaking preliminary market engagement in advance of publishing a DLO Support framework procurement opportunity and will be hosting a Meet the Buyer event to discuss the framework opportunity, future procurement plans and upcoming opportunities for suppliers..
The event will provide an overview of the forthcoming framework opportunity, Bron Afon's wider procurement pipeline for the next 18 months, the proposed procurement timetable and future opportunities across a range of repairs, maintenance and specialist services.
Interested suppliers are invited to attend a free Meet the Buyer event on 6 October 2026 at Ty Bron Afon, Cwmbran. There will be 2 sessions:
8:30-10:30
13:00-15:00
Suppliers wishing to attend should register their interest by emailing [email protected].
Suppliers will have the opportunity to meet representatives from Bron Afon and Barcud Shared Services, ask questions regarding the forthcoming procurement and gain a better understanding of how the framework will operate.
Following the Meet the Buyer sessions, Barcud Shared Services will deliver a free tendering workshop aimed at SMEs, providing practical guidance on preparing and submitting tender responses.
Suppliers are also encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed framework structure, procurement approach and any potential barriers to participation for SMEs, during the event or by emailing [email protected]. Any feedback received may be considered prior to the publication of the procurement opportunity.
Participation in this market engagement exercise will not provide any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process.
