What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council wishes to procure a framework for the hire of a range of non-operated small plant to support an in house delivery model of highway maintenance. The service will be a top up service to supplement the Council’s own small plant in times of high workload, provide cover for breakdown and to supply infrequently used equipment.

All plant must meet the appropriate requirements of the Specification set out in Schedule 2 and the rates submitted in the Pricing Schedule must be inclusive of delivery and travel time to the local depot or to site (unless otherwise indicated in the pricing schedule) and should include for all reasonable associated equipment such as trailers, dust suppressors, etc.

The framework will be council wide and a maximum of 3 suppliers will be appointed. Orders will be issued based on the best value supplier for each order.

Tenders will only be accepted from those providers who are able to price all elements of the Pricing Schedule (See Section 3).

CPV: Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment

What this means for your bid

Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
“Non-Operated Plant Framework 2024-2027” 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.
