- Lot 2A: Household Goods - Furniture. Beds
- Lot 2B: Household Goods - Furniture. Beds - Emergency Only
- Lot 3: Household Goods - Flooring.

- Quality Criteria: Please see Invitation to Tender document available on https://in-tendhost.co.uk/milton-keynes/aspx/Home
- Price Criteria: Please see Invitation to Tender available on https://in-tendhost.co.uk/milton-keynes/aspx/Home
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Household Goods and Associated Products and Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 8 suppliers, 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.
