In 2017/18 The Authority identified demand which developed into a workload through the implementation of its Business Development Strategy, which sees Authority's staff and any appointed Associate Trainers working in partnership to develop and service the need. Demand has remained high for this service and the Authority is now seeking to retender this as it seeks to expand its scope.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“Associate Trainers - Health and Wellbeing” 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.
