What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Riverside Group, including its current and future subsidiaries and Evolve FS, wish to

enter into contract for 3 years, with the option to extend by 2 years. The annual contract

value is estimated to be between ?2m and ?3m with geographical spread likely to be North

of the M62 but likely to extend more Nationally. One Supplier is anticipated to be the key

strategic partner for the supply of vehicles to the Group. The fleet will likely be leased and

will consist of predominantly vans of different sizes. There may be a requirement for some

cars. Over the course of the next 3 years the total number of vehicles required will be at least

300 with the potential for this number to increase by at least 100.

  • Quality: 50%
  • Price: 50%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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