    The information you provide for each case study should, as a minimum, cover the following areas:

    a description of the works or services delivered;

    customer details, contract values & dates;

    construction methodologies used on the project;

    added value in the construction phase including, but not limited to, environmental initiatives, value engineering and community benefits.

    Your response is limited to 2 A4 pages per Case Study excluding images and diagrams.

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.

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