Published requirement description

NIE Networks sought to appoint a suitably experienced service provider/s onto a Framework Contract/s for the Provision of LV Fault Monitoring and Associated Services.

This procurement focused on the two elements of LV Fault Monitoring, namely Fault Monitoring Hardware and Fault Monitoring Services. Each of which were tendered on a per Lot basis. A third Lot was also available for those companies who wished to return for both. Tenderers were encouraged to compete for all the Lot's that they were able to, in order to mitigate the risk of being excluded from the competition for not tendering for a specific Lot.

CPV: Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 60 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Provision of LV Fault Monitoring and Associated Services” 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.
