Conditions of participation2
  • Suitability

    Mediation experience and affiliation to a recognised body

  • Economic & financial standing

    The Council will wish to satisfy themselves that the bidder is financially robust and sustainable for the duration of the contract

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 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.
