What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Haemodialysis Machines & Consumables” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 10 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Review procedure

Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the

courts: An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public

Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the

Court of Session.
