- Suitability
The procuring body expects that each bidder is suitably qualified in the field of their respective services, is registered with a relevant trade body, and can evidence this as a part of the bid.
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Arc123 - Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Framework” 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.

- Performance terms
Arc will include a set of performance measures in the framework agreement and these will be used to manage the performance of the supplier, set improvement targets and drive continuous improvement. These will be the minimum indicators and other measures may be offered by bidders as part of their ITT. Performance against these indicators will be reviewed with the successful bidder at regular review meetings, together with the comparative performance that will enable benchmarking against:
— other companies engaged in Arc or other frameworks,
— the overall performance of all Arc or other frameworks,
— national performance measures where they are available.
The successful bidder will be required to collate and submit their own performance data in accordance with the performance management requirements set out in the contract. Further details can be found within the procurement documents.
- Review procedure
The contracting authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point that an award decision notice is communicated to tenderers. The award decision notice will specify the criteria for the award of the framework agreement, the reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative advantages, the name and score of the successful tender and will specify when the standstill period is expected to end or the date before which the contracting authority will not conclude the framework agreement. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, set out the time frame within which aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of a breach of the rules may take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought within 30 days from the date when the economic operator in question first knew or ought to have known that grounds for the bringing of proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the 30-day period in a particular case if it considers that there is good reason for so doing, up to a period of 3 months from the actual or deemed date of knowledge of the economic operator. The Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or may order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the framework agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of
ineffectiveness or may order that the duration of any relevant specific contract be shortened and additionally may award damages. The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally 30 days from notification of the award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending on the circumstances) or otherwise 6 months. Proceedings may be instigated by the issue of a Claim Form meeting the requirements of the Court Procedure Rules (‘CPR’) within 30 days from when the relevant economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for proceedings had arisen.
