Published requirement description

The Greater Manchester districts formed a network of ambient air quality monitoring stations in 2013 to share information, and resources between the 10 district authorities of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. The network is referred to as the Greater Manchester Air quality Network (GMAQN). There is also the option for Transport for Greater Manchester to be part of this network and utilise this contract. The GMAQN is seeking to appoint suitable contractor(s) to provide a flexible, responsive and consistently high quality service in relation to the servicing, maintenance and data management of their automatic air quality monitoring units and other services if necessary.

  • 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.
  • “Framework for Greater Manchester Air Quality Monitoring Network…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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