Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure
2 lots · no lot values published · a supplier may bid for at most 2 and win at most 1 of them · same evaluation weights on every lotLot #1All three services operating on a Minimum cost modelCancelledRenewal
A minimum cost basis, where the price you submit is based on the cost of operating the Contract. This shall include all farebox revenue and concessionary travel reimbursement will accrue to Leicester City Council (the Authority) and should be deducted from each invoice for the relevant period.
If a minimum cost model was to be implemented this would ensure that the Authority takes the full revenue risk and would pay the Supplier for the running the Service. All Suppliers must ensure that they submit a bid for Lot 1 to be compliant.
Lot #2All three services operating on a Minimum subsidy modelAwardedRenewal
A minimum subsidy price is where the price you submit is based on the cost of operating the Contract, minus any farebox revenue (including on and off bus sales) and concessionary travel reimbursement (based on the equivalent adult single fare), which is retained by the Supplier.
With a minimum subsidy model the Supplier takes the revenue risk and retains the revenue with no additional sums payable by the Authority. It is at the discretion of Suppliers if they wish to submit a bid for Lot 2 for a minimum subsidy model.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 60%

- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
