This is a single-stage process which addresses the mandatory and discretionary exclusions (through the completion of the part 1 & 2 SSQ) and quality assessments as a single stage.

The Process will be managed on the Due North/Pro-Contract Portal, hosted by Bid-Eastern.

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.
