- Suitability
Organisations must ensure that they are not in breach of any of the mandatory or discretionary exclusions contained in Regulation 57 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Please refer to the
Tender Documentation/ Online Tender located on our E-Procurement system. The web address can be found under ‘Procurement Documents’ in ‘Communication’ section in this notice.
- Price carries 60 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 6 points.
- “Supply of Frozen Foods” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
