Published description of the framework
When the Client has identified a requirement for work to be carried out within the framework scope, the selection procedure will be determined by the Client's Representative and this may vary depending on the requirements of the Work Order.
Suppliers may be selected to carry out a Work Order using one of the following procedures:
- Further Competition Procedure
This selection procedure will be based on Further Competition between Lot Suppliers. The Client will invite all the Suppliers from the relevant Lot for the works required, and will provide all necessary quotation information in relation to the Work Order. The Supplier will submit a quotation based on this quotation information as detailed in Part C of Volume 2.
- Direct Award Procedure
This selection procedure will enable the Client to select a Supplier to deliver works who demonstrably offers best value for money when evaluated against the Client's defined criteria for selection, as detailed in Part C of Volume 2.
The full selection procedure is as listed within the following tender documents:
- CECF2026 Volume 1 NEC4 Framework Contract
- CECF2026 Volume 2 Framework Information

Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure
2 lots · all with a published value · same conditions of participation on every lot · same evaluation weights on every lotEvery one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £25,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published.

Financial Selection Criteria - Q17 Threshold
This question will be used to assess the overall financial stability of your organisation. The threshold is met when confirmation is given that the applicable financial information will be provided if successfully awarded a contract and that this information demonstrates that the Contractor is financial stable.
In assessing an organisation's financial stability, the Authorities will review the accounts and any relevant accompanying financial information submitted. They will calculate profit and working capital ratios and net worth and review turnover levels, observing trends over recent years.
Financial references and internal credit checks will be undertaken to analyse your organisation's financial position and determine the level of risk it would represent to the Authority, having regard to the contract requirement and value, criticality and the nature of the market. The assessment of risk is based on sound business judgement rather than just a mechanistic application of financial formulae. If the Authority deems the financial position of the organisation to be acceptable, the threshold is passed.
Depending on timescales, further financial checks may be carried out by the Authority between receipt of tenders and contract award which may impact on the contract award decision.
Insurance Selection Criteria - Q18 to Q19 Threshold
The threshold is met when the minimum cover noted for each insurance type is provided and the request information is provided. If your cover is less than the minimum indicated you will need to confirm that you would be willing and capable of increasing your level of cover accordingly if awarded the contract in order to pass the threshold.

- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Civil Engineering Contractors Framework (CECF) 2026-2030” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
