Lots and requirements (9)Procurement structure

Every one of these 9 lots carries the same published figure, £333,333: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“DfE - Invest NI - Energy and Resource Efficiency Consultancy Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 99 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Review and risk notes

Review procedure: . CPD complied with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as. amended) and incorporated a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10. calendar days) at the point information on the award of contract was. communicated to tenderers. That notification provided full information on the award. decision. This provided time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the. award decision before the contract was entered into..

Publisher note: . Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter.. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If... a. contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they. will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified... time, they. still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will. be escalated to senior management in CPD for... further action. If this occurs and. your performance does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified. period, this can be... considered grounds for.. termination of the contract at. your expense as provided for in the Conditions of Contract In lieu of. termination,... CPD may issue a Notice.of Written Warning or a Notice of Unsatisfactory. Performance. A supplier in receipt of multiple Notices of Written... Warning or a Notice. of Unsatisfactory Performance may, in accordance with The Public Contracts. Regulations 2015. (as. amended) be... excluded from future public procurement. competitions for a period of up to three years. The figure stated in V.2.4 is a. maximum. that.. can. be spent through the framework over the full term and does not give any. guarantee of any level of business that may. be awarded.. under. the agreement..
