Published requirement description

Multi-Lot framework agreement to provide a compliant route to market for Fabrication and Machining Services for Nuclear and Non-Nuclear facilities.

CPV: Fabrication work · HVAC packages · Metalworking · Nuclear reactors · Nuclear reactors and parts · Parts of nuclear reactors · Parts of nuclear-reactor vessels

How this framework works

From the published notice
Places
up to 9 suppliers · 13 bids on the busiest of 3 lots (1.4 per place) · 5 appointed

Lots and requirements (3)Procurement structure

3 lots · all with a published value · evaluation weights differ by lot

Every one of these 3 lots carries the same published figure, £4,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What it takes to win
i

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).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

LotQualityPriceSplit
1 · Non-Nuclear Rig Fabrication Machining6530
2 · Nuclear Rig Fabrication Machining6530
3 · Nuclear Infrastructure Fabrication Machining6530
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
  • “Fabrication and Machining Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 9 suppliers, not a single contract.

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