What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 95 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Cardiovascular & Respiratory Medicines” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.

Publisher note: The estimated values referred to in Section II.I.7 and all Lots cover the twenty-four (24) months contract duration and the twelve (12) month extension period of the framework agreement.
