What it takes to win
i

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

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Lot distribution rule: Each lot is awarded separately. If one bidder is successful in winning more than one lot they will be awarded the lot (s) they have won. One bidder could potentially be awarded all three lots
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 6 points.

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

    Bangor University would like to invite suppliers interested in its forthcoming tender for Reactive maintenance services to attend a supplier engagement event on 30th April 2025 at Reichel Hall, Bangor, Gwynedd. It is envisaged that the event will help inform the University's requirements and approach to the procurement as well as identifying suppliers that may be able to provide the services required.

    Suppliers will have an opportunity to find out more about the services the University will tender for, how they can do business with the University particularly under the new procurement regulations and will also have an opportunity to engage in one to one discussions with Estates and Procurement stakeholders.

    The agenda for the event is yet to be finalised, however interested suppliers will be sent further details as these become available. Suppliers who cannot attend in person should also register their interest so they can be contacted outside of the event but within the engagement timeframes given.

    Any supplier interested in attending in person or remotely please email Jane Hulmston - Procurement Category Manager Estates and Campus Services at [email protected]
