What is being bought

Published requirement description

Cambridgeshire County Council public library service intends to establish a system for the efficient control of entry to library buildings that allows members of the public to access library services outside of normal library staffed opening times. We aim to install the system into 33 libraries currently in Cambridgeshire, with a further 4 libraries under development in the next 3 to 4 years.

The authority is not splitting this contract into lots as they wish to maintain having a single provider for the purposes of contract management and process efficiencies.

  • Quality: 60
  • Price: 40
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.
  • “Cambridgeshire County Council Libraries Open Access” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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