Published requirement description

This Demand Management and Renewables Framework Alliance Contract is complemented by a suite of other CCS commercial agreements for related supplies and services (e.g. estate professional services, project management and design services, facilities management, utilities and fuels, furniture etc.). This will collectively enable Additional Clients to effectively manage the full life cycle requirements of their built asset and associated strategies on the basis of whole life value considerations.

The Supplier Alliance Member may be required to consult and/or work with suppliers appointed to other CCS agreements. This will be further detailed in the specific Project Contract, to enable decisions to be informed on the basis of whole life value and to enable the coordination of full (or part) life-cycle requirements.

The scope of works and services required and the procurement route will be specified at the Project Contract stage.

Conditions of participation1
  • Suitability

    Candidates will be assessed in accordance with Section 5 of the 2015 Public Contract Regulations (implementing the directive) on the basis of information provided in response to an invitation to tender (ITT) registering for access.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “800000000.00” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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

Publisher note: The value provided in Section II.1.7 is only an estimate. We cannot guarantee to suppliers any business through this Commercial Agreement. As part of this contract award notice the following can be accessed at: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/51b6e47a-96c9-443a-b3e9-99549a6f275d 1) Redacted Commercial Agreement 2) List of Successful Suppliers 3) Approved Customer list 4) Transparency Agenda On 02/04/2014, Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders were required to make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement. This link provides information on the GSC at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services. Government is taking steps to reduce the levels of cyber security risk in its supply chain through the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme defines a set of controls which, when implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet. To participate in this procurement, bidders were required to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement. CCS reserved the right to award a framework to any bidder whose final score was within 1% of the last position. Only Lot 5 had more suppliers than award places available. There were 30 bids for Lot 5, and with the application of the 1% rule this was reduced to 20 suppliers. The remaining 10 suppliers were not within 1% of the supplier in 20th place. This therefore fell in line with the information originally stated in the Contract Notice that was published on 29/11/2022. Awarded Suppliers: Lot 1.1 - 14 successful suppliers Lot 1.2 - 13 successful suppliers Lot 2.1 - 13 successful suppliers# Lot 2.2 - 9 successful suppliers Lot 3.1 - 16 successful suppliers Lot 3.2 - 14 successful suppliers Lot 4.1 - 20 successful suppliers Lot 4.2 - 9 successful suppliers Lot 5 - 20 successful suppliers
