Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal. CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities. Registration is free and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work. Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.",

"weightingDescription": "The tender evaluation shall be based upon a two-stage process (i.e. consisting of mandatory requirements and/or minimum standards) with a pass/fail criteria for both stages. Failure to meet the mandatory requirements in the first Stage will exclude providers from this procurement. Only tenderers that meet the mandatory requirements will be taken forward for full tender evaluation. In line with Procurement Act 2023, Stage two (2) of the evaluation process will be evaluated and awarded using a method known as Most Advantageous Tender (MAT), i.e., tenders may be evaluated and awarded based on non-cost as well as cost factors. Where enhanced standards are considered, they will be weighted alongside all the evaluation criteria and scored accordingly. Scores are determined following the application of the Award Criteria (set out in the Tender documents) to the tenderer's submission. Evaluating officers can only evaluate based on the information provided to them in the tender submission. Any tenderers not meeting the specified minimum average weighted score (if applicable) in Stage two (2) may be disqualified. If disqualified, the tenderer's submission will not be considered any further and will be excluded from the rest of the process.",
