How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more

Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 40
  • Social Value: 10
  • Price: 50
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “CHIC Healthy Homes Framework 2024-28” 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.

Review procedure

Communities & Housing Investment Consortium Limited will observe a ten-day standstill period calculated in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Under those Regulations aggrieved bidders may by way of proceedings in the High Court seek relief in respect of alleged breaches of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 which may include declaring any award ineffective, and/or seeking damages. After expiry of the ten-day standstill period CHIC will unless prevented by order of the Court conclude and enter all Framework Agreements.

Publisher note: The contracting authority considers that this framework may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. Communities & Housing Investment Consortium (CHIC) is a central purchasing body and information in respect of CHIC and a Schedule of CHIC Members can be found on the CHIC website: www.chicltd.co.uk and a list of current Members can also be found in the draft Framework Agreement. CHIC is procuring the Framework Agreement on behalf of all Authorised Users as described in the Framework Agreement. Call-off Contracts from the Framework Lots may be used for works and services to meet a range of construction needs across both Housing and other properties, including social and commercial premises.
