What this means for your bid
- Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 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.

Commercial outcome & contract awards
Published awards, contracts and bid statistics, not a forecastAwards 1
| Awarded to | Value | Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| supplier not published | — | 17 Jul 2026 | CancelledFollowing completion of the tender process and review of the quotations received, it has become clear that the cost of delivering the required scope of works significantly exceeds the available project budget. Regrettably, the project is therefore not financially viable at this time, and the College has taken the difficult decision to cancel the procurement and not proceed with the works. This is a disappointing outcome for the College, and we are grateful for the interest shown in the project. |
