    he Specification for Highway Works (SHW) applies to all Work packages issued through this Framework Agreement. Not all of the National Highway Sector Schemes (NHSS) from Appendix A of the SHW will be mandatory. Appendix 0/2 of Volume 2 of the Framework Agreement stipulates the NHSS schemes that are mandatory and those that are not. Those listed as mandatory will apply to all businesses undertaking any of these Works/ Services unless the business complies with any alternative requirement that may be stipulated in the comments column of Appendix A of SHW. If your business subcontracts the work, you do not have to be registered but any subcontractor you use must be.

Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework Agreement C1 Road Maintenance and Minor Civil Engineering…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 12 suppliers, not a single contract.

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