Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 10
- Price: 90
- Price carries 90 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Framework Agreement for the supply and delivery of Turf care Products…” 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.

- 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. This period will extend to 15 calendar days for communication by non-electronic means. Applicants who are
unsuccessful shall be informed by the Council as soon as possible after the decision has been made. Should additional information be
required it should be requested of the addressee in section I.1). If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully
resolved, The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of
the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales, and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (generally
within 30 days). Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the
Council to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the
circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Council to pay a civil financial penalty, and/or order that
the duration of the contract be shortened. If a declaration of ineffectiveness is sought, any such action must be brought within 30 days
where the Council has communicated the award of the contract and a summary of reasons to tenderers, or otherwise within 6 months. The
purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the
contract is entered into.
