  • Technical & professional ability

    Bidders are required to provide two relevant examples of your organisations recent experience (within the last 5 years) in delivering a Secure on Street Cycle Parking Scheme similar in scale as specified in the Contract Notice and Section 4 of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) Document.

    Please refer to the ITT Document and the SPD for further details.

    Minimum: The weighting will be out of 100% with 50% attributed to each example. Bidders must achieve the minimum threshold score of 60% overall over the two examples. Any Bidder who fails to achieve the minimum points score will be disqualified at this stage.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 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.
