Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Brighton and Hove City Council will incorporate a minimum of 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority or the lodging of an appeal before the contract is entered into. Such additional information should be requested from the contact point referenced in part 1.1) of the contract notice.

Publisher note: Further to the information provided in box IV.1.3, below is additional information re. justification for any duration exceeding 4 years: - In anticipation of future change in Highways Services, BHCC observes the ongoing adequacy of the Framework and individual lots to meet those future needs perspective and undertake those essential checks and balances.By 2030 BHCC aims to meet its challenge of becoming Carbon Neutral. In the construction sector, with current methods and materials, offsetting carbon will be focal in meeting this requirement, rather than the sector becoming carbon neutral in its delivery. As most processes and methods in the construction industry are widely carbon rich, BHCC looks to work with suppliers on this carbon journey, with the aim and to encourage them to meet this aim in finding lesser carbon use methods and materials. However, competition through a Framework is also a key element and will remain so, to ensure such new materials and methods are brought cost-effectively to Council Schemes through secondary competition. Hence the proposed approach of 3 suppliers under a Framework Contract for Lot 1 on a 4+2+2 to award suppliers for investing and providing the support that BHCC needs and enable longer term relationships to deliver the outputs needed for BHCC to achieve its aim of being Carbon Neutral by 2030.
