Published requirement description

The Framework provides a Total Continence Containment Product Home Delivery service that will cover (but not limited to) the following. The supply of Continence Pads and Garments to the NHS Scotland National Distribution centre, to patients in a homecare environment within Scotland in either their own home or in a Nursing / Residential Care Home setting. Delivery requirements are based on prescription data received via the Community Continence Nursing Service within each Participating Authority.

The delivery cycles will be managed by the Framework Participant based on patient prescription data. The supplier will provide an interface system that will maintain a full and complete record of all patient requirements and monitor/control the product issue and delivery procedures.

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.

Lot	Quality	Price	Environmental	Split
1 · Continence Products	40%	50%	10%
2 · Washable Garments	40%	50%	10%

What this means for your bid

Price carries 50 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5 points.
“NP57122 Supply and Delivery of Continence Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Review and risk notes

Review procedure: Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:
An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.
The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the Framework Agreement has been entered into will not affect the Framework Agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the Framework Agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages.
