Authority: East Lindsey District Council (Local council)·On behalf of: PUBLIC SECTOR PARTNERSHIP SERVICES LTD
What is being bought3 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionSouth Holland District Council, Boston Borough Council and East Lindsey District Council operate a collaborative partnership to deliver services across the sub-region.
Under this procurement, one supplier was appointed to each lot to provide a range of refuse sacks and caddy liners.
The lot relating to Boston Borough Council was unsuccessful, as the initially awarded supplier was unable to maintain their tendered pricing due to the impact of ongoing external factors to their business operations. An alternative route to procurement for Boston Borough Council will be undertaken separately.

- Price

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
