Published description of the framework
The tenders will be priced based on the three scenarios provided and an underpinning rate card.
SW will provide an estimated level of effort for each scenario against which tenderers will submit their rates which combined will generate a price for labour.
SW will also provide an estimated material cost against which tenderers will provide a percentage mark up to calculate the price.
The price for labour plus the materials price for each of the three scenarios will be totalled to give one total price per tender.
