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
Conditions of participation1
  • Suitability

    Supply Partner(s) must ensure compliance with all statutory requirements at all times both in respect of its on-site obligations and the fulfilment by the Member Organisations of its obligations under the respective legislations and those obligations explicitly passed down to the Supply Partner(s) to fulfil. Any perceived lack of non-compliance with any legislation is to be brought to the Member Organisation’s attention for it to decide on the recommended course of action in order to mitigate the risk exposure.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “Framework for Stairlifts, Lifting Equipment and Property Adaptations” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the Regulations) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are

at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). As

stated within the regulations, any such action must be started within 30 days beginning with the date when the

aggrieved party first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen.

The Court may extend the time limit for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason for

doing so but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than 3 months after that date.

Any agreement entered into will be governed by English law and will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
