- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

7 Co-ordination
7.1 The Contracting Authority would be receptive to the appointment of a senior resource
within the team. The appointed individual shall act as the single point of contact (SPOC)
for the team and be responsible for coordinating work activities in accordance with
requests received from the local Detective Inspector (DI). The individual shall demonstrate
the capability to supervise a small team, manage work activities in a structured and
methodical manner, and prioritise workload based on risk and operational demand. The
Service Provider shall ensure that appropriate quality assurance (QA) processes are
embedded within the service delivery model to minimise rework and avoid creating
additional workload for DIs.
7.2 The Service Provider shall provide a dedicated team capable of operating in a largely
self-sufficient manner and accepting tasking directly, subject to the formal adoption of
agreed processes. The allocation of individual resources on an ad hoc basis shall not be
the Contracting Authority's preferred delivery model.
7.3 The Contracting Authority considers that an effective team structure may comprise
one (1) Supervisor and five (5) Practitioners, subject to the experience, capability, and
competency of the resources provided
