Published requirement description

The purpose of this procurement exercise is to develop a Framework Agreement of 3-6 approved production companies (Suppliers) that work with Kew Gardens and Wakehurst to deliver and contribute to our creative vision for our programmes. This procurement comprises two Lots: - Lot 1: Design & Fabricate – We will expect the Supplier to respond creatively to the Brief and use their design and inventive problem-solving expertise to develop playful, inviting, unique, innovative and aesthetically sensitive responses, and to then manufacture, install, maintain and deinstall all programme deliverables, as well as undertake all associated project management. - Lot 2: Fabricate Only – We will expect the Supplier to respond to a much more prescriptive Brief, and design practical solutions as required, and then manufacture, install, maintain and deinstall all programme deliverables, as well as undertake all associated project management.

How this framework works

From the published notice
Bids received
3 bids received · 3 suppliers appointed

Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure

2 lots · all with a published value · win at most 2 of them · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £700,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “RBGKEW1165 Kew Gardens & Wakehurst Visitor Programmes Production…” 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.
