    Organisations are advised it is a condition of the framework that all managers and operatives (including subcontractors) are suitably competent to execute all trades and operations encompassed by this framework in full compliance with the UK legislation.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Landscape and External Works” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 23 suppliers, not a single contract.

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