How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework · open framework scheme (admission reopens)
- Call-offs
- call-offs may be awarded directly or by further competition
- Bids received
- 3 bids received · 3 suppliers appointed
- Framework period
- 5 yrs · up to 7 yrs from 1 Oct 2026
Published description of the framework
This Framework is single lot, multi-supplier with up to 4 suppliers, at the Groups’ discretion. In the circumstance where more than one supplier has been awarded a place, suppliers will be ranked by their tender submission score according to the evaluation criteria set out in the Tender. The supplier with the highest score will be ranked first, the second highest ranked second and so on.
Work will be allocated and orders placed through the following process:
a. The Group will identify from the framework the highest ranked supplier for the required work.
b. The Group will contact the identified supplier with regards to capacity for the date, timescale and nature of the work required.
c. The Group will place an order with the supplier.
d. If the highest ranked Supplier is unable to fulfil the Group’s requirements, then the Group will approach the next highest ranked supplier. This process will be cascaded down the ranks until the Group’s requirements are met.
By exception the Groups reserves the right to access this Framework by mini competition.

- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Extra Care Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, 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.
