    Bidders will need to provide the necessary quality information requested as part of question 1 within the response to tender, to ensure they meet the appropriate quality standards required.

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.
  • “2177 - Framework for the Ongoing Requirement for Sterile Fill Finish” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 10 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Accelerated

The COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to an urgent need to procure a sterile fill finish supplier for a Vaccine Project to ensure we have no delay on this critical project. This does not give CPI sufficient time to comply with the standard open procedure timescales for this procurement. CPI considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, CPI is using the accelerated time limits permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 regulation 27(5) for the open procedure in respect of this procurement.
