What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Garage Management and Maintenance Framework 2026-2029” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.

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

    • Change 9 Jun 2026 The published UK7 Contract Details Notice listed the contract value as only Dartford Borough Council's spend, not the estimated total framework spend which is c. £5,000,000.

The framework is nationwide and some specific NUTS codes are: UKF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire UKF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire UKF3 Lincolnshire UKI3 Inner London - West UKI4 Inner London - East UKI5 Outer London - East and North East UKI6 Outer London - South UKI7 Outer London - West and North West UKJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex UKJ4 Kent These changes are to any relevant published notice rather than signed contracts.
