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
Conditions of participation1
  • Economic & financial standing

    There is no minimum turnover requirement set for this framework, however LHC will conduct a financial assessment. This assessment will allow LHC to carry out a robust assessment of a Bidders' financial standing.

    The assessment will have 2 stages:

    1. Credit score - LHC will use Creditsafe to carry out initial checking of a Bidders' financial status.
    2. Profitability, Stability and Liquidity Assessment - Bidders will be assessed on their financial stability based on a range of financial information obtained from the Bidders annual accounts.
    Minimum: Bidders will be required to have the minimum levels of insurance listed below to be considered eligible for this framework. Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance: £5,000,000 Public Liability Insurance: £5,000,000 Professional Indemnity Insurance: £2,000,000
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
  • “Consultancy Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 7 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Thanks to their ongoing and collective feedback and input into the development of this framework and given the reach and scale of their collective portfolios, the framework is both designed and anticipated to support the vast majority of requirements. Consequently, other contracting authorities that were not specifically consulted in the development of this framework may nevertheless also deem the framework to offer a value for money procurement solution for their own requirements and may also use the framework. As of the date of publication of this notice our frameworks may be used by all contracting authorities in England, Wales and Scotland as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and as listed on https://www.lhc.gov.uk/who-we-work-with/, including, but not limited to Registered social landlords (RSL's), tenant management organisations (TMOs) and arm's length management organisations (ALMOs), local authorities and any subsidiaries and joint-venture vehicles of those local authorities, health authorities, councils, boards and trusts, publicly funded schools, universities and further education establishments, colleges, police forces, fire and rescue services or registered charities. LHC clients may add community benefit requirements in their call-off contracts from this Framework including but not limited to: - to generate employment and training opportunities for priority groups; - vocational training; - to up-skill the existing workforce; - equality and diversity initiatives; - to make sub-contracting opportunities available to SMEs, the third sector and supported businesses; - supply-chain development activity; - to build capacity in community organisations; - educational support initiatives.
