The lotProcurement structure

single lot · value published
Lot #1Renewal 1 yrSMEPublished value£108,000
Contract period: 20 Apr 2026 – 19 Apr 2027 (1 yr) · up to 19 Apr 2029 with extensionsValue: £108,000 exc. VAT · £108,000 inc. VAT
Eligibility: SME eligible
Extensions: There are two options to extend for 1 year each. A contract extension or variation may also be required in the event of a significant and unforeseen change in the volume of timetable changes that must be produced or posted. This may arise where external factors - such as legislative or regulatory changes, region wide service revisions mandated by relevant transport authorities, or other circumstances outside of TVCA’s control - result in a substantial increase in the number of bus timetables requiring updating and installation within compressed timeframes. Such circumstances would materially alter the volume of work beyond what could reasonably have been anticipated at award stage.

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).

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: Quality Questions
  • Price
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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