  • Technical & professional ability

    The Council will be using the CCS Standard Selection Questionnaire (with PAS91 updates) as well as contract-specific requirements as minimum levels of standards as outlined in the tender documents and e-tender questionnaires.

    Tenderers will also be required to provide details of relevant experience (in the area and value of the contract) to establish that the company tendering can demonstrate the required professional ability to provide the refurbishment works required.

    Tenderers will also be required to agree to employ the named sub-contractor for the manufacture, supply, and installation of the 3 new cremators and associated plant via a deed of novation as detailed within the tender documents.

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.

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