In the first instance, bidders should register with In-tend and express an interest in the contract. Contract details can be found under the 'Tenders’ and 'Forthcoming' section of the In-tend homepage. A Selection Questionnaire (SQ) must be completed and returned (via In-tend) as well as an Award Questionnaire (AQ). Bidders will need to provide as part of the request to participate process evidence of business quality standards, accreditations, and relevant experience. Any bidder found to be guilty of serious misrepresentation in proving false or inaccurate information may be declared ineligible and not selected to continue with the process.
- Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

- Review procedure
Lord Williams's School incorporated a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract was communicated to tenderers. That notification provided full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which was for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provided time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract was entered into. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
