What is being bought

Published requirement description

Red Kite Community Housing have appointed a single supplier for the provision of Tree Consultancy Services to our land and other areas under our ownership within High Wycombe and surrounding areas.

Red Kite have tendered separately for Tree Maintenance Services as it could have been perceived that there may be a conflict of interest if one party were to deliver both services under the two tenders.

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.
