What these tenders usually ask for

  • Quality carried a median of 40% of the marks (31 contracts that published a weighting). See how tenders are scored.
  • A median of 5 bids per contract (41 contracts that published a bid count).
  • 5% were set up as frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems, so some work comes as call-offs you only see once you are on one.
  • We don't yet hold enough public tender packs for this trade to say how many questions they ask. The Bid Matcher reads each live tender's documents where they are public.
