What this means for your bid

Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
“Faecal Management Systems” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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

- Change Given the ongoing clinical need for the products included in this contract and the consistent demand across Wales, a 12-month extension is considered necessary to ensure continuity of supply while a full competitive tender process is undertaken. Based on usage over the past 12 months, the projected expenditure for the extension period is 53,518.75 GBP (excluding VAT)., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Due to staff resourcing limitations within the All Wales Procurement Team, there is insufficient capacity to complete a full renewal exercise before the expiry date. It is therefore proposed that a 12-month extension (under Regulation 72) be awarded, enabling a competitive tender process to be undertaken during the extension period.
