Published requirement description

Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) is looking to put in place four contracts for Heat Network Operation, Maintenance, Metering & Billing works. NHG are creating four contracts across two work streams which will be referred to as lots. The first lot will be for the Operation, Maintenance & Metering of our Heat Networks. Lot 1 will be divided into lot 1a and lot 1b in order to spread the work load of NHG heat networks across two suppliers. Suppliers are able to bid for both lots, but will only be able to win one of the lots. This is the same for the second lot Billing Systems. Lot 2 is divided into lot 2a and 2b for the different types of billing systems. Please note this is not a framework but 4 separate contracts. Please note the estimated value has increased from the PIN notice due to some additional works being added to the specification. Full details of the works can be found in the tender documents.

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.

Lot distribution rule: Two - one from either lot 1a or lot 1b and one from either lot 2a or lot 2b. Further information on the awarding of the contracts can be found in the tender documents.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.

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