  • Quality: 30
  • Price: 70
Conditions of participation1
  • Suitability

    Bidders to provide a certificate from the Registrar of Companies (Companies House) stating that they are certified as incorporated or registered.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Operating, Supply of Fuel, Servicing and Maintenance of Biomass…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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