Awarding contracts

Contracts should be awarded in an open, fair and transparent manner at all times and you should ensure that winning contractor offers the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT). There is no obligation for you to undertake a standstill period.

In all regulated procurements i.e. those valued in excess of £50,000, including a DPS call-off, the Contracting Authority must publish an appropriate contract award notice.

Contract call-off award notices may be grouped on a quarterly basis. Grouped notices must be sent for publication within 30 days of the end of each quarter.
