What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council plans to establish a framework of suppliers who can offer a timely and costeffective

Payroll and HR Administration Service to Non-Cheque Book Maintained Schools in

Westmorland and Furness Area.

There are currently 76 Non-Cheque Book Maintained Schools who may initially plan to use

the framework.

Please note that the top 3 ranked tenderers will be awarded a place on the framework;

however, tenderers that score less than 325 points on the quality marks will be disqualified

and rejected.

There will be further competitions conducted under the framework and these will be

awarded on price alone.

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
Quality: 65%Price: 35%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 65
  • Price: 35
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “HR Administration and Payroll Services to Non Cheque Book Maintained…” 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.
