Published description of the framework
Call-off Procedure for Direct Awards by Ranked Order Basket of Items
The Employer will assemble a basket of items required to deliver the works, and apply the rates provided by each Contractor to the basket in order to determine the Price for each Contractor.
The contract will be offered first to the Contractor whose basket is best priced.
The Employer will telephone the Contractor selected as first choice for the direct award in accordance with the pricing schedule, to make them aware that a call-off is required and to detail the requirement.
The Contractor will confirm their willingness to undertake the work. If this is not possible immediately, due to the specifics of the requirement, the Contractor will email the Employer within 24 hours, either confirming that they will be undertaking the work, or declining so to do.
Should the first-choice supplier be unable or unwilling to undertake the work, the second-choice supplier will be approached in a similar fashion, and so forth.
The Employer shall email the selected Contractor with the proposal for the works and the appropriate form of contract, priced in accordance with the framework Pricing Schedule.
The Contractor will return the completed form of contract by email to the Employer within 24 hours, whereupon the Employer will arrange for contract completion.

Published award criteria (2)
- Price
- Quality
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “CPU 7382 Framework Supply and Installation of Fencing and Security…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
