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.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The Council will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the Contract is communicated to tenderers. Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the Contracting Authority as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why the Applicant was unsuccessful. Applicants may seek further clarification from the Contracting Authority following receipt of this information and the Contracting Authority will provide further clarification as appropriate. If any clarification regarding the award of the Contract has not been successfully resolved, an Applicant can consider its option under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Applicants would need to obtain their own legal advice.

Publisher note: The Council is notifying in accordance with Regulation 55(1) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) that it will not be concluding its contract under the open tender procurement which it has conducted. The reason for this decision is due to additional requirements relating to the successful tenderer’s platform which the Council does not accept under the open tender contract for various reasons. The Council is considering other PCR compliant options for the provision of these services.
