⚡ BidHelp Insight
Electrical works contracts often place strong emphasis on electrical safety standards. Another key point to note here is that even with 60% of the score allocated to price, competitiveness matters, but 40% is still awarded on quality, including programme delivery, previous experience, health & safety, and social value. Clear, well-structured responses that directly address each quality question, supported by relevant examples, will be critical. This is the type of tender where strong compliance and presentation can significantly influence scoring, even in a price-led evaluation.
