should it be implemented).

The main elements of the scope of service are:

  • Safety Checks;
  • Periodic Servicing and Inspections;
  • Routine Maintenance;
  • Diagnosis of faults;
  • Responsive Maintenance;
  • Out of Hours Emergency Work;
  • Ad hoc boiler replacements (excluding planned programmes);
  • Commercial and communal boiler

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40–60 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
  • “Gas & Other Fuels Heating System Servicing, Maintenance Repair and…” 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.
