How this framework works

From the published notice
Places
up to 4 suppliers · 6 bids on the busiest of 4 lots (1.5 per place) · 3 appointed

Lots and requirements (4)Procurement structure

4 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £508,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What it takes to win

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 · same split on all 4 lots
Price: 90%Social value: 10%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Social Value: 10
  • Price: 90
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 90 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Provision of Services for the Acceptance and Composting of Green Waste…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract.

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