  • Technical & professional ability

    Bidders are required to be able to supply at least three contract examples for each lot they are bidding for. Such examples must be within

    the last three years (five for works contracts) and must provide sufficient detail to enable PfH to be able to identify and assess the relevance

    of the contract examples to the services required under the framework agreement. Bidders should use question 4C.1.and 4C.1.2 to respond

    to the requirement. Bidders that are unable to provide three relevant and appropriate examples demonstrating sufficient experience (or

    provide a justification why they are unable to do so) will be excluded from the procurement process

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Procurement For Housing - Compliance Solutions Framework” 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.
