How bids were scored

Lot awarding rule: The successful supplier will be selected based on an overall assessment of the technical specification, the ability to deliver within the required time frame and best price. Prior to award of the tender, the highest scoring supplier must provide a demonstrator vehicle to HSE Science & Research Centre, Harpur Hill, SK17 9JN for testing. If the vehicle does not meet our operational requirements, then the supplier will be excluded and the next highest scoring supplier will be required to provide a demonstrator. This process will be repeated until a suitable supplier is identified. If no suitable supplier is identified, then the tender will not be awarded. Any queries on the tender should be submitted through the procurement portal
