What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Detailed submission instructions & authority contactsFrom official release

Tender documentation is available via the "WARWICKSHIRE" portal at sell2.in-tend.co.uk/midlands/home ↗.

Your tender return must be submitted via the e-tendering portal. You will not be able to upload your tender after the deadline. Applicants are advised that if their tender response (including any associated documentation) is only partially uploaded within the e-tendering portal by the closing date and time then the system will lock them out and they will not be able to complete their document upload. The Council reserves the right to only evaluate documents received within the e-tendering portal by the closing date and time and applicants are advised that a partial upload is unlikely to be successful. Applicants are therefore recommended to upload their full tender response well in advance of the closing date and time.

If you are experiencing any difficulties with your upload you must contact the Council well in advance of the closing date and time.
