What is being bought

Published requirement description

The work comprises of the replacement of domestic gas appliances and associated works and covers approximately 26,000 domestic properties across the entire Sandwell Metropolitan Borough. This primarily comprises of replacing domestic gas appliances (boilers, gas fires, gas cookers) along with ancillary works. The contract also includes the fitting electric fires and the installation of individual radiators as part of a heating upgrade. Some of the works may include full heating installations due to a medical need at the property. The tenderers’ attention is specifically drawn to the fact that a proportion of properties will be occupied throughout the period of the contract with some properties being void, the contractor is required to include any additional costs involved in their tender to allow for this.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Replacement of Domestic Gas Appliances and Associated Works” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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