What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Framework Agreement for Demolition and Deconstruction of High-Rise and…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 11 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Publisher note: North Lanarkshire Council is supported by Perses CDM Limited, whose remit is to provide technical resource and expertise in relation to the establishment of the demolition framework, including technical input into tender evaluation. In addition, the Council has agreements in place with other specialist demolition consultancies, who may be engaged as required to support the assessment of tender responses or provide guidance on technical aspects of the procurement. However, in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, the Council retains full responsibility for all procurement activity. This includes the development of procurement strategy, preparation of tender documentation, evaluation processes, and final contract award decisions. All procurement activities are conducted in line with regulatory requirements to ensure transparency, fairness, and compliance. The Council is seeking bidders who can demonstrate alignment with the Scottish Government’s Waste Hierarchy, showing a clear commitment to minimising waste to landfill through reuse, recycling, and sustainable demolition practices. Performance against this requirement will be monitored as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) under the framework agreement. (SC Ref:834750)
