    1. Compliant to the PAS91 pre-qualification sections C1 to C4 inclusive

    Such accrediting bodies which meet this could include a relevant category in Constructionline (accredited to a membership level of ‘Silver’), or CHAS (to a level of ‘Premium’), or equivalents.

    Please refer to the procurement documentation for more details.

    1. To have a compliant health and safety accreditation performed by a Safety Schemes in Procurement (‘SSIP’) registered member, for example CHAS or equivalents.

    Please refer to the procurement documentation for more details

    Any Accreditations used as an 'exemption' in the procurement must be valid, current and compliant and can be evidenced at the submission closing time/date deadline of the tender. It is not acceptable for suppliers to state they are in the process of being accredited, being re-accredited, or have applied for accreditation. Suppliers must have updated all 3rd party accreditation databases.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “IA2934 Framework Agreement for Tarmacadam Paving Repairs and…” 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.
