Published award criteria (2)
- Price
- Quality
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Kitchens Supply & Supply & Fit” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

| supplier not published | — | 28 Sept 2026 | CancelledDear Supplier, Following an internal review with relevant stakeholders, we wish to reassess our requirements for Lot 1 and Lot 3 of the Framework. Accordingly, we have taken the decision to abandon the procurement of Lot 1 and Lot 3, and will not be making any award in respect of it pursuant to this procurement process. We will shortly be publishing a procurement termination notice on the Central Digital Platform to this effect. For the avoidance of doubt, our decision to abandon only relates to Lot 1 and Lot 3 of the Framework. We intend to proceed with the procurement and award of Lots 2 of the Framework as originally planned. We would like to thank you for your interest in Lot 1 and Lot 3 and for submitting a tender for it. Kind regards, L&Q Commercial Procurement |
