How this framework works

From the published notice
Bids received
53 bids on the busiest of 2 lots · 40 suppliers appointed
Framework period

6 yrs 11 mo from 1 Sept 2025, The market was keen on having the new contract’s term much longer than the existing 3+2 years contract. The responses suggest 5 years plus with extensions leading to up to 10 years. They suggested that longer contract would provide them with better financial stability and allow time to grow their business.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 10 of 105 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Housing and Support Solutions” 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.
