Lot #1The Framework will give the Authority access to quantitative modelling capability and…Awarded Australia (AU), UKLot estimate not published

The Framework will give the Authority access to quantitative modelling capability and tools for animal and plant pest and disease modelling and expert analysis to meet occasional ad hoc policy requests. The Authority requires the Contractor to be available to respond to emergency situations in the form of expert consultation and/or input to modelling exercises. The purpose of carrying out this analysis is to inform policy decisions which may need to be made quickly, often based on evidence that is not complete.<br/><br/>This Framework replaces the previous Animal and Plant Health Modelling<br/>Framework, reference 25333. This was the Authority’s previous framework for<br/>animal and plant health modelling services which will expire in April 2024.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Modelling Services Framework - Lot 2 (Plant Health) - Uni of Cambridge” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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