What is being bought

Published requirement description

Welsh Government is looking for suppliers to form a new Framework to provide for the delivery of research, evidence gathering and analysis services to enable relevant departments (such as Housing, Safety regulations and Standards, Building Control and Planning) to develop and assess policy options, prepare impact assessments for potential changes to Building planning, Building control and Building Safety and Standard (and other related disciplines), and provide supporting guidance.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 130 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. Quality carries 70 of 130: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “Building and Safety Regulation - Research and Evaluation Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

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