Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 60
- Price: 40
- Suitability
As per tender documentation.
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Grounds Maintenance and Associated Services 2024” 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.

Gateway Housing Association incorporated a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract was communicated to tenderers. The notification provided full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which was a minimum of 10 calendar days, provided time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the framework agreement was entered into. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) 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).
