Organisations must ensure that they are not in breach of any of the mandatory or discretionary exclusions contained in Regulation 57 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Please refer to the
Tender Documentation/ Online Tender located on our E-Procurement system. The web
address can be found under ‘Procurement Documents’ in ‘Communication’ section in this notice.
- Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
- “YPO 001237 - Laundry Cleaning Chemicals” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
