Published requirement description

Lancashire County Council is looking to appoint companies registered with National Highway Sector Schemes 12A/B, 12D (and 12C optional) for the provision of traffic management services.

The Service Providers shall be required to work with the Councils Highways Operatives to plan traffic management requirements and shall be required to work in all districts of Lancashire. A maximum of up to 8 service providers will be appointed to the framework.

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
How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Lot distribution rule: Service Providers appointed to Lot 1, will automatically be appointed to Lot 2.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 7 points.
  • “The Provision of Traffic Management Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 8 suppliers, not a single contract.

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