  • Suitability

    Suppliers of Dental Handpieces must be members of the British Dental Industries Association (BDIA) or equivalent accredited body.

    It is essential the Contractor ensures that the supplier and all goods supplied, comply with current legislation and regulations and carry appropriate safety markings. It is the Contractors responsibility to keep themselves informed of developments in this area and make changes to processes to continue to ensure compliance.

    The manufacturer must be MHRA registered.

    It is an essential requirement that any Contractor Representatives intending to visit the UBDS should register with the Life Science Industry National Credentialing Register and have their ID visible when in the building. www.lifescienceindustry.co.uk ↗. This is a safeguard to allow the University to challenge anyone in the building for their ID.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35 of 35 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 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.
