What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35–70 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 70 points.
  • “RC016/2024 PPM” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.

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

    This event was previously published under PCR2015. Due to a change in tender portal this is now being issued under PA23.

    Suppliers were asked to complete a questionnaire detailing the trades disciplines they can meet and to provide some company information. A review of feedback received has been carried out and a proposed Lotting structure issued. A further review of feedback on the Lotting structure is in process with a view to issue the revised Lotting structure and the proposed specification prior to publication of the Above Threshold procurement.
