How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework
- Call-offs
- call-offs may be awarded directly or by further competition
- Places
- up to 12 suppliers
- Framework period
- 1 yr · up to 4 yrs from 1 Apr 2027
Published description of the framework
For each Lot, the three highest‑scoring Suppliers will be appointed to the Framework and ranked according to their overall evaluation score, comprising both Quality and Price elements of the ITT response.
Suppliers will be ranked as follows:
Rank #1 - The Supplier achieving the highest overall score.
Rank #2 - The Supplier achieving the second-highest overall score.
Rank #3 - The Supplier achieving the third-highest overall score.
Only the three highest-scoring Suppliers for each Lot will be appointed to the Framework.
It is envisaged that most projects will be allocated following a mini competition. Specifications and designs will be provided to the relevant framework providers to enable them to prepare their tender price. Any interested framework provider must arrange and complete a site survey prior to submission of their tender.
Unless otherwise stated, mini competitions will be evaluated on a price-only basis, with a weighting of 100% for price.
Following evaluation of the tenders after the deadline date, and once we can confirm that all funding and third-party permissions are in place for the works, we will notify all bidders of the outcome of the mini competition.
At our absolute discretion and by exception, projects may also be allocated by direct appointment. Examples of when direct appointment methodology might be used include urgent projects that are time sensitive; low value projects where a mini competition is not economically feasible; and where specific instruction is received from the householder where we are acting as their agent for a privately funded project.
Direct appointments will be made to the contractor ranked number one. Where the first-ranked supplier is unable to accept the project, the Council may offer the project to the next highest-ranked supplier. This process may be repeated.
Where the householder has requested the appointment of a specific supplier and the Council is acting solely as the householder's agent, the Council may directly appoint the requested supplier, provided that the supplier has confirmed they are available and willing to deliver the works.
Lots and requirements (4)Procurement structure
4 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, £1,600,000: 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.
Lot #1Building Alterations (South Cheshire)Renewalceiling above
South Cheshire - covering Crewe, Nantwich, Alsager, Sandbach, Middlewich, Audlem and surrounding villages and hamlets.
Building alteration works that are required as part of this framework include, but are not limited to:
- Site Preparation;
- Foundations;
- External Walls and Insulation;
- Roofs and Insulation;
- Doors and Windows;
- Floors and Insulation;
- Internal walls and ceilings;
- Electrics;
- Plumbing and Drainage;
- Heating;
- Kitchens;
- Bathrooms
- Condition of participation
In this tendering procedure, the Authority intends to award to the top 3 highest scoring Suppliers for each Lot.
In the event that two (2) or more Suppliers achieve the same score (i.e. they are tied), the submission which scores the highest for Q3 will be ranked highest. If this is not a determining factor, then the submission which scores the highest on question Q1 will be ranked highest, and so on through questions Q2 and Q4.
In the event that a tie remains after comparison of overall and question-level scores, the Authority will determine the ranking of the tied tenders by reference to Question 3 (Customer Service) only, applying the following approach:
The Authority will undertake a structured comparison of the responses to Question 3 submitted by the tied Suppliers, using only the existing evaluation framework and scoring descriptors already published for that question and without introducing any new criteria, weightings, or requirements for further information. The purpose of this comparison is solely to determine whether one response demonstrably better meets the published descriptors for Question 3 as a whole when assessed against the other tied response(s). No re-scoring of other questions will be undertaken, and no scores will be adjusted following this comparison. This comparative assessment forms part of the award methodology and applies equally to all suppliers.
Where a ranking cannot be determined following this process then the Applicants will remain tied and all tied Applicants will be admitted to the framework. Where this is the case, the relevant Lot may exceed the maximum of three admitted suppliers.
If fewer than 3 Suppliers have responded to this tendering procedure, or if fewer than 3 Suppliers have qualified based on the information in Parts 1, 2 and 3, the Authority reserves the right to proceed with a smaller list provided it is confident that sufficient competition exists to give the prospect of a value for money outcome.

- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Domestic Build Works (Disability Adaptations)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 12 suppliers, 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.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means registered in North West England.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in North West England.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 38 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.
1 bid19% / 1%
2–350% / 10%
4–619% / 17%
7+13% / 72%
How did awards compare with estimates?
i
Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.
Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
