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 for Provision of a Contingency Residual Waste…” 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.

Local Government Re-organisation

1.1 In December 2024 the Government issued a White Paper on Local Government Re-Organisation entitled the "English Devolution White Paper".

1.2 In March 2025 Staffordshire County Council submitted their suggested re-organisation plan to the Government and are awaiting a response.

1.3 Final proposals will be submitted in November 2025 and implementation of the changes is expected by Government to be by 2028 at the earliest.

1.4 Whilst the expected impact of most changes to Local Government will be settled at Government Level (Change in Law) please be aware that it may be government policy or expedient that any affected party will be recommended to agree bi-lateral or multi-lateral changes to their existing contractual arrangements.

1.5 Updates on proposals and changes can be found on the Staffordshire County Council Website and at other media outlets

The parties agree that in the event of a Local Government Re-organisation: -

2.1 that reorganisation of local authorities may result in the transfer assignment or novation of this Agreement in whole or in part to a successor authority or successor authorities. Such transfer assignment or novation shall not constitute a breach or require consent and the [contracting party] consents to the transfer assignment or novation of this Agreement in whole or in parts to any successor authority(ies) established under the local government reorganisation legislation and that as a consequence the obligations and rights under this Agreement shall continue to apply and be enforceable by or against any successor authority(ies) following a local government reorganisation; and

2.2 the parties acknowledge that if applicable the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 may apply and agree to comply with all consequential and reasonable obligations arising thereunder

2.3 the parties acknowledge that any new organisation(s) may utilise or create and manage all and any existing or required framework agreements relating to the provision of the [goods and] services provided under this current agreement
