What is being bought

Published requirement description

Maidstone Borough Council has for some time relied on a small number of companies on an ad hoc basis to undertake condition surveys, dilapidations work, and similar assessments. While

this approach has provided short‐term flexibility, it no longer meets the Council’s needs from a compliance, quality, or strategic asset‐management perspective.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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