Published requirement description

The aim of the proposed framework is to provide a sustainable and cost-effective method to extend the life cycle of mobile electronic devices. By using mobile electronic devices for longer there will be a reduction in the environmental impact from the decrease in the quantity of devices created and disposed of each year.

The scope of the proposed framework will include:

Lot 1: Repair of electronic devices

Lot 2: Supply of refurbished devices

Lot 3: Complete Service - Repair of electronic devices and supply of refurbished devices

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Commercial Procurement Service anticipates appointing all Bidders who score a total of 60% or more for a Lot (who have met the minimum requirements which are set out in these ITT documents) to supply the services under that Lot, as detailed within the specification at SCHEDULE A FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT SPECIFICATION.

What it takes to win
i

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 20 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 2 points.
  • “National Framework for the Provision of Refurbished Electronic Devices…” 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.
