What is being bought

Published requirement description

Tenders are invited for the development, print and distribution of 82,200 copies (approx.) of ‘Streets Ahead’ and ‘Quid’s In!’ magazines as described in the Specification and in accordance with the Housing Executive’s Conditions of Contract included with the Tender Documentation. Due to the nature and the interdependence of all aspects of the required Service, it is neither practical nor desirable to divide the proposed contract into lots. To do so would likely add unnecessary cost and risk.

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.
