From the published notice

Framework period
1 yr from 9 May 2023

Lots and requirements (8)Procurement structure

8 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lot

Shared scope across 7 of 8 lots

Applies to lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

What it takes to win
i

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).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored · same split on all 7 lots
Price: 80
Published award criteria (1)
  • Price: 80
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 80 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework for Highway Grass Verge and Hedge Cutting within the County…” 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.
