What is being bought

Published requirement description

Suppliers must be able to offer the full range as detailed in the pricing schedule/uniform list.

Should the College decide to add additional college curriculum areas to the pricing schedule/uniform list, the successful supplier will be required to add this onto the existing college requirements. Any new requirements would be discussed and agreed with the successful supplier.

What this means for your bid

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