Framework for Roofing Contractors

This Framework will be available for use by Durham County Council and the following additional Contracting Authorities, where they have entered into a Procurement Service Level Agreement (SLA) with Durham County Council

The above list is not exhaustive, however, and in addition to the above the Framework/Contract may also be made available to other Organisations and Local and / or Non-Local Authorities where agreed with DCC.

In the event that any one of the partners wishes to use the opportunity they will be required to enter into an access agreement, which will regulate their use of the framework agreement.

For information regarding SLAs and Access Agreements please contact: [email protected]

THE FOLLOWING IS APPLICABLE TO ALL LOTS

The first ranked placed contractor on the framework, following this Invitation to Bid (ITB) will be awarded all calls offs for less than £80,000 which is classified as:

• urgent or an emergency requirement - i.e. H&S Implications
• Delivery of a specific project which benefits that can be assessed using the information provided at the point of Framework establishment.
• An option of an expression of interest whereby no other Contractor is willing/able to deliver the call off contract.
• When early contractor engagement is required to develop the specification and scope of works required or to undertake survey

The Council reserves the right to make direct awards with the first ranked contractor or undertake a competed call off for less than £80k with all contractors for value for money to be shown or if a project is grant funded and a competitive process is to be proven. The Council will decide on the process for every Call off.

Time is of the essence and is essential for the undertaking for call of Contracts under this Framework. If the first placed Contractor (following the process above) is unable to supply the works within the agreed timescale for delivery the Council will follow the process below.

The second ranked Contractor will be offered the call off Contract. If this Contractor is also unable to undertake the contract the third placed Contractor will be selected in accordance with their ranked position until a Contractor is able to undertake the Works.

For Call-Offs over £80,001 a Competed Call-Off process will be carried out or where there may be a requirement for example to show value for money, in this situation all placed Contractors on the framework will be invited to take part in this competed call off.

The criteria for Competed call offs will be detailed within the documentation issued. Each contractor bid for the call off competitive project must not exceed, but maybe less than the 'maximum rate' costs as identified in their original tender proposal. Any Contractor who submits a bid which exceeds their 'maximum rate' costs will be removed from that competed call off.

The competed all off-document award criteria will be deemed appropriate for that specific project. This will include individual weightings, to reflect the requirements, within the further competition documentation which may differ from the weightings used for the appointment on the Framework Agreement.
