How this framework works

From the published notice
Places
up to 25 suppliers · 31 bids on the busiest of 2 lots (1.2 per place) · 31 appointed (full)

Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure

2 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 2 of them · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £597,750,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

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.
  • “Medicinal Products and Pharma Funded Homecare [5749446]” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 25 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

As detailed in the Tender documentation

Publisher note: The value stated in II.1.7 and V.2.4 are based on current usage multiplied by the highest cost tendered price for each product line for which bids were received for. However, it is expected that additional products may be added during the term of the framework which may result in an increase in spend under the framework. Furthermore, the framework value may be impacted by potential price variances during the framework term. As such, the maximum value attributed to this framework will be 1,195,500,000 GBP (i.e. the advertised estimated total value as per notice 2024/S 000-035856) to ensure there is sufficient scope for additional products, call-off contracts and price variations over the term of the framework.. . In Section I.2 it is stated that this procurement is a joint procedure. This contract is not a joint contract, it is a central purchasing body contract operated by the Business Services Organisation, Procurement and Logistics Service on behalf of the participants listed in I.1.
