Individual contracts greater than this value will be procured outwith the Framework Agreement in accordance with the appropriate Fife Council advertising and tendering procedures.

  • Suitability

    The 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.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 180 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. Quality carries 80 of 180: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “Framework Agreement C14 Lighting Installation Works up to 1,000,000…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract.

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