What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTo provide fire safety services including servicing and repairs and maintenance for the Homes in Somerset portfolio
- Not divided into lots: For business continuity purposes it is not sensible to split into lots but businesses will be able to subcontract to other companies if unable to meet all of the requirements themselves.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 May 2027, 23:59 BST.

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).
How bids were scored
Published sub-criteria (2)
- Quality and social value: 70%
- Price: 30%
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality and social value: 5 quality questions are within the tender pack and an additional question in relation to social value is included. Each question has a different weighting as detailed in the tender. Only bids that achieve a minimum of 50% of the quality score will have their price evaluated.
- Price: The total price for the service element of the contract must be identified
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.
