The procurement will be run as an Open Procedure due to the time pressures on delivering the project. Owing to the Prior Information Notice issued on 21st October 2020, the tender process will be conducted as an accelerated procedure with a sole scored focus on pricing. Suppliers will be expected to make a commitment to a series of account management criteria, which will be present in the tender documentation, but this will not be scored directly in the tender exercise.

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