What is being bought11 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionNational Highways is inviting organisation’s to apply to the Social Enterprise Dynamic Purchasing System (SEDPS) to provide Goods and/or Services to National Highways, our Supply Chain and other Government departments across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The SEDPS is available to organisation’s with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners. We have enabled this DPS to allow our supply chain and other government departments to procure the Goods and/or Services that these organisation’s offer. The use of the SEDPS is to further National Highways' commitment to social value, in support of National Highways Social Value Plan. A link to the plan can be found below.

- Quality: 70
- Price: 30
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Regional delivery expansion of the Social Enterprise Dynamic…” is a dynamic market: 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.
