What is being bought

Published requirement description

Derbyshire County Council invites suitably qualified and accredited Principal Contractors to submit a tender for the installation of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) at Ashbourne Library and Hub.

The appointed Principal Contractor will be responsible for the full delivery of the works, including coordination, installation, commissioning, and handover of the Air Source Heat Pump systems in line with all relevant statutory, technical, and safety requirements. Contractors must be able to demonstrate the necessary competence, experience, and accreditation to act as Principal Contractor under the CDM Regulations, ensuring safe management of the site and all associated construction activities.

The works will be delivered within an operational public building, and bidders must therefore provide clear evidence of their ability to plan, manage, and execute projects in live environments with minimal disruption to services.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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