What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council has a directly employed workforce that undertakes highways maintenance works, including:

  • carriageway and footway patching
  • carriageway and footway ironwork adjustment and/or replacement
  • minor construction works
  • brick laying

The Council has appointed suitably qualified and experienced bidders to a framework contract, who are able to supply suitably trained and experienced highway maintenance resources (i.e. – operatives with vehicles and equipment) to supplement the Council’s directly employed workforce, on an ad-hoc basis.

All teams will work under the direct instruction and supervision of the Council’s employees.

The Council may additionally require the ad-hoc provision of other resources.

  • Quality: 35
  • Price: 65
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 65 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Civils Resources_2023” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Leicestershire County Council (LCC) will incorporate a minimum of 10 calendar day standstill period at the point of information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. Applicants/Tenderers who are unsuccessful shall be informed by LCC as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why the applicant/tenderer was unsuccessful. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take legal action. Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order for any document to be amended. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to review the award decision before the contract is entered into.
