For minor tasks (less than £3,000) The contractor to be first chosen by the Council's nominated Officer will be selected on the basis of their lowest aggregated priced hourly rates / MEWP daily hire, in conjunction with the requirement of works, (e.g. normal hourly rates/ outside normal hourly rates) and their availability to carry out the works within required time frames.
For larger or more complex tasks, the Council's nominated Officer may seek competitive quotations via a Mini-Competition open to all contractors in response to service information.

- Price carries 95 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Framework for the Provision of Electrical Services, Reactive and…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
