Published description of the framework

Direct Award (for requirements up to £5,000)

  • A ranked supplier model applies for call-offs up to £5,000.
  • The highest-ranked supplier (Rank 1) will be approached first.
  • If Supplier 1 cannot meet timescales, specification, or best value, the Council may approach the next ranked supplier(s).
  • Short quotations may be requested to confirm pricing, lead times, and compliance.
  • All orders must be placed via official Council Purchase Orders.

b) Mini-Competition (for requirements above £5,000)

  • For call-offs above £5,000, all framework suppliers will be invited to submit pricing and delivery proposals.
  • Evaluation will be based on 100% price, subject to compliance with specification and any added value considerations.
  • The supplier achieving the highest score will receive the award.

c) Council’s Right to Run Mini-Competition at Any Time

  • The Council reserves the right to run a mini-competition regardless of value or ranking, where advantageous for reasons such as urgency, poor performance, technical requirements, large volumes, market volatility, or demonstrating best value.

d) Emergency or Urgent Requirements

  • For time-critical or emergency situations, the Council may:

o Place a direct award with any framework supplier,

o Request quick-turnaround quotes, or

o Use the nearest available supplier to ensure operational delivery

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework Agreement for the Supply of ReadyMix Concrete” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 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.
