What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council has an ongoing requirement for Roads Material Testing for use by South Lanarkshire Council Roads and Transportation Services. There is a need to ensure continuity of provision through formal contracting and providing a fit for purpose service in line with current standards and legislation.

The Service has a proposed contract period of 3 years with the option to extend for up to 24 months, running to 31 March 2027.

The Council’s preference is for a contract awarded to a single Supplier where acceptable bids are received.

    SPD Question 2.D.1 Subcontractors on whose capacity the bidder does not rely

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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