What is being bought

Published requirement description

Versatile web based data management system that is capable of handling asset information, not limited to highways asset information. This is referred to in these documents as the ‘Road Asset Management System’ (RAMS). The RAMS will be used to visualise the condition, location and history of a range of asset types, in context with other spatial data.

The scope of work is in two parts;

  • Part 1 – Data Collection - In order to provide suitable data to allow the effective modelling as covered in Part Two below the Tenderer shall undertake a physical survey of the highways and footways network.
  • Part 2 - Deterioration and Lifecycle Modelling - In order to understand the medium to long term deterioration of the highways network, and then model the implications of any given investment/maintenance regime, the Tenderer shall make available online deterioration and investment modelling software as a service, using the SaaS (Software as a Service) principle.

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Quality: 70%Price: 30%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 70
  • Price: 30
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.
  • “Provision of Road Asset Management System” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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