Published requirement description

South Yorkshire Housing Association (SYHA) requires the services of suitably qualified and experienced Company/ies to provide the Association with gardening - grounds maintenance, specialist landscaping and tree works for a variety of SYHA properties. As the Associations’ properties cover a wide area we have broken the grounds maintenance element of the contract into seven areas (Lots 1 – 7) Lot 8 is for specialist landscaping and Lots 9 and 10 are for planned and ad hoc tree works. Suppliers are invited to quote for as many Lots as they wish but must be able to cover all properties/requirements within each Lot they are quoting for.

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

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40–60 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 60 points.
  • “Gardening - Grounds Maintenance, Specialist Landscaping and Tree Works” 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.
