The National Oceanography Centre (NOC), have identified the following consumable items as being in scope:

Electrical / electronic consumables

Tools
Fixings and Fasteners

NOC is seeking to award each Lot to one supplier; however, one supplier may be successful in bidding for both Lots. The contracts will cover the generic and specific supply of general consumable items. The supply of items will be provided under 2 distinct lots as follows:

Lot 1 – The supplier will make available and supply general consumable items from their general availability of their business to business internet catalogue.

Lot 2 – The supplier will provide specific items as requested by the contracting entity from time to time, charged at an agreed cost price (to be agreed for each requirement) plus an agreed maximum margin percentage (fixed for the duration of the contract).

Both Lots will be structured as a single supplier Lot, with a framework agreement for each. Suppliers may submit proposals for 1 or both Lots.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“UKRI-1597 UKRI Climate Play Makers” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, not a single contract.

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