Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 80
- Price: 20
- Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “A Multi Provider Framework Agreement for the Provision of Transition…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 16 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

- Review procedure
The Council has decided to incorporate a standstill period at the point when information on the proposed award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of ten calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful tenders to challenge the award decision before the Contract is entered into. Aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by any breach of the Council's obligations may take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Proceedings must be brought within 30 days from the date of knowledge (the date on which the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen) unless the Court considers that there is good reason for extending the period within which proceedings may be brought, in which case the Court may extend that period up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge.
Publisher note: The figures/values stated do not reflect the true volume of business. There is no guarantee of business, but the expectation is that up to £15,000,000.00 could be procured against this Framework Agreement.
