Additional Information

This procurement forms part of a grant-funded project and must demonstrate value for money, transparency, and compliance with funding requirements. The contract will be awarded based on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT), evaluated as follows:

Price – 60%

Quality – 40%

Quality will consider technical specification, delivery and installation capability, warranty and after-sales support, relevant experience, and overall alignment with the project requirements. Natural UK reserves the right not to award the contract if tenders received do not demonstrate value for money or do not meet the required standards.

Natural UK is committed to responsible and sustainable procurement. As part of the evaluation, suppliers may be asked to demonstrate how environmental considerations have been incorporated into their proposal, including responsible sourcing of materials, reduced waste and packaging, energy efficiency where applicable, and any relevant environmental certifications such as ISO 14001 or equivalent.

In line with the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, Natural UK supports the use of the Welsh language. Welsh language capability is not mandatory, however the ability to provide documentation, labelling, operational manuals or customer support in Welsh (where feasible and proportionate) will be considered a positive added value.
