The type of contract being awarded is a Multi-Supplier Framework Agreement for the Supply and Delivery of Fresh Fish to the Council. Acceptance on to the Framework does not guarantee orders. Only when the Council makes a call-off from the Framework, using a standard Purchase Order form, will a contract for that requirement be concluded.

Delivery: Scotland · Various Council catering facilities located throughout the Shetland Islands.
Extensions: The Framework Agreement period shall initially be for two years (24 months) from 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2026 with an option to extend for two further 12-month periods from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028.Variant bids: not allowed

  • Quality: 30
  • Price: 70
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.
  • “Supply and Delivery of Fresh Fish to Shetland Islands Council” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

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