NTU is undertaking a procurement process to identify and appoint a number of suppliers to provide both expert advice and high quality floor covering installations, across all of our NTU campuses and to cover all buildings where required. The University anticipates awarding three Suppliers to the framework, but reserves the right to award to additional suppliers, following evaluation of the tenders if appropriate.
The University will carry out a further competition (mini-tender) for each works package in order to identify and appoint a Contractor for each individual project but further reserves the right to appoint a Contractor direct for a project if required, for example, there is urgent requirement and insufficient time to tender, or the requirement is best served by one particular Contractor. The University will only adopt this approach if absolutely necessary.

- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Floor Coverings” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
