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.

    Leicester City Council ('the Council') would like to seek views and engagement from the market regarding this project. This project would be for carrying out an Energy Performance Certificate on all of our housing stock. The new legislation requirement must be met by 2030 as new central government guidelines stipulate a requirement for this to be achieved. If this is not achieved the Leicester city council could have severe reputational damage due to the lack of data record on our housing stock. Government fines may be issued by the housing regulator.

    The proposed contract will be for a duration of 5 years.

    At this stage, it is a Pre-Market Engagement only and Not A CALL FOR COMPETITION.
