What is being bought

Published requirement description

London Gateway has expansion plans recently backed by a billion-pound investment from DP World, along with various government backed initiatives to develop the surrounding area. For example the creation of the Thames Freeport zone to attract transient trade through the UK etc.

The existing Motorola system is no longer sufficient and as such, we are seeking proposals for a replacement radio system that will align to future expansion plans. As part of this process, we are also looking to align with a suitable partner that can provide a suitably scaled support and maintenance contract for the next 5+ years.

CPV: Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment

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.
