  • Economic & financial standing

    For all Lots Tenderers should meet the following Conditions of Participation:

    • Financial Capacity - Companies, Public Sector organisations and Third Sector organisations should have 'positive net assets' as determined from their Latest Year's Published Accounts.
    • Insurance - Please see Lot specific details for the required insurance levels per Lot.
    • Carbon Reduction Plans - Tenderers must confirm they have a published carbon reduction policy statement or must provide evidence of a commitment to carbon reduction.
    • Tenderers must confirm they will comply with the Framework Specification and the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement.

    Refer to the tender documents for further details on the conditions of participation.

  • Technical & professional ability

    For all Lots Tenderers should meet the following Conditions of Participation:

    • Technical & Professional Ability - Tenderers should possess experience of supplying, servicing and providing maintenance services for stairlifts, steplifts, vertical through-floor lifts and/ or hoists as applicable to their bid, demonstrated by ongoing and historical contract information.
    • Health and Safety - Tenderers must provide a satisfactory description of the arrangements they have in place or will have in place if awarded the contract to manage health and safety effectively and control significant risks relevant to the requirement.
    • Quality Management - Tenderers must confirm that they have quality assurance processes in place and must provide evidence that their processes are clear, practicable and accessible.
    • Business Continuity - Tenderers must demonstrate their approach to business continuity in relation to the requirements.

    Refer to the tender documents for further details on the conditions of participation.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points. Quality carries 55 of 100: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “364_26 Stairlifts, Steplifts, Vertical Through Floor Lifts and Hoists” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

    The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months, and ESPO may choose to use the extension period where: • The framework is performing well; • The framework continues to meet customer needs. ESPO reserves the right to implement the extension period in part, full, or in increments (such as 2x 12-month periods). The total estimated framework value captured in this notice includes the option to extend as noted above. Note: The “Contract value” per lot as captured in this notice is for the overall framework (with this same overall value being captured per lot), as ESPO offers no guarantees or estimates of value that may pass through each individual lot (but the overall usage across all lots is not expected to exceed this overall framework value).
    Options
    ESPO reserves the right to add or remove requirements throughout the life of the contract in line with the Framework scope.
