Invitation to Tender - New Forest National Park Authority - Construction of No. 2 Affordable Unit Houses at Burley
Authority: New Forest National Park Authority (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe New Forest National Park Authority ('the Authority') is the organisation responsible for promoting the two statutory purposes of the National Park as set out in the Environment Act 1995 which are:
■ To conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area
■ To promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the Park by the public.
The Authority also has a duty to seek to foster the economic and social well-being of the local communities within the National Park. In this regard, providing affordable housing for people with a strong local connection is a particular issue and the Authority is looking at opportunities to work with landowners to provide affordable private rented accommodation for local people.
The Authority owns a small plot of land in Burley for the purposes of providing two affordable homes for rent. Planning permission was subsequently granted for the development on 18 September 2018, application number 18/00517.

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).
Published sub-criteria (2)
- Quality of assessment: 40%
- Overall price to complete the works: 60%
Published award criteria (2)
- Overall price to complete the works: Price - with regards to the price evaluation, the lowest accepted (i.e. reasonable) submitted total price will be awarded the maximum price score of 60%. Thereafter, each tender will be ranked and scored in accordance with how much more expensive their respective price is compared to the lowest total price (e.g. - if it is 50% more expensive than the lowest price, it will be awarded 50% less price points in comparison to the lowest price tender).
- Quality of assessment: Quality - weighted scores will be calculated by multiplying the score for each quality criteria by its weighting. The weighted scores will be totalled for each tender. The totals will be normalised so that the normalised highest total will attract the highest Quality score of 40%.
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 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.
