What it takes to win
i

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more

Quality: 40%Price: 40%Social value: 20%
Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 40
  • Social Value: 20
  • Price: 40
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “TC145 - Framework for the Provision of Financial Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 32 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The Council incorporated a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the framework is communicated to tenderers prior to entering into the framework. If an appeal regarding the award of a framework has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contract Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Publisher note: Any values stated in respect of individual contract awards or Lots are a duplicate of the entire framework value because it is not possible to indicate the value of each award or framework Lot. The total estimated value of the framework over its term, however it may be spread across all of the Lots is £6,000,000
