What this means for your bid

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

    • Change This modification notice relates to the option to exercise the contract for 24 months being taken up inline with Regulation 72 (1). As a result of this and an increased uptake in the programme, the total estimated value of tenant-paid insurance premiums over the full five-year contract term is 1,130,000 GBP. There is no other change to the service scope, contract terms, pricing mechanism, or duration of the contract., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The increase in estimated contract value results from higher post‑tender insurance premium levels and stronger than forecast tenant uptake, including selection of higher cover levels. The original estimates were based on 2021 data and prudent assumptions prior to tender completion. These combined circumstances could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of contract award and do not alter the nature, scope or duration of the contract.
