What it takes to win
i

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids are scored

Lot awarding rule: The balance in the tender between Quality and Price is 60Q:40P. 60% of the weighting will be attributed to the Technical. Tender for the project. The lowest quoted price will receive the maximum score available for this section (30%). 10% of the commercial weighting will be attributed to the sum of the three hypothetical compensation events (CEs) set out within the CE scenario tabs 1, 2 and 3 within the pricing schedule. The compensation event scenarios are populated automatically by the costs entered by the tenderer on their percentage fee uplift and schedule of rates. The lowest scenario summary price will receive the maximum score available for this section (10%). Any criteria for a tender receiving a zero score may be disqualified from the tender process.

No conditions of participation were published on the notice; check the tender documents.

How the contest usually goes

Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.

Question for the bid
This buyerFCDO Services · division 45
The marketDelivery in Türkiye
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Buyer: 23 of 23 known-size awards · market: not compared
100%—

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.

Buyer: 5 of 7 known-location awards · market: not compared
71%—

The notice lists delivery in Türkiye, so this procedure has no confirmed single UK region; the buyer’s figure reads its other awards, each against its own delivery region.

How long to a decision?

How often single-bid or direct?

Buyer: at least 6 of 17 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: not compared
35%—

About this data
  • Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
