What is being bought

Published requirement description

A new prospectus for the Plan for Neighbourhoods (previously called the Town Fund) has now been published and Royal Sutton Coldfield has been awarded up to £20m, over 10 years, with the Town Council being the accountable body.

The Plan has 3 objectives; Thriving Places, Stronger Communities and Taking Back Control.

To deliver these objectives, the government has set out the need to establish a Neighbourhood Board. The Board is required to develop a Vision and Regeneration Plan for the next 10 years, together with a more detailed Investment Plan for the first 4 years of the programme.

How bids were scored
Price: 20
Published sub-criteria (1)
  • Stage 4: 20

  • Stage 1 & 2: General Information / Previous Experience
  • Stage 3: 80% - Minimum of 60% threshold required to proceed to next stage

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 20 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 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.
