How this framework works

From the published notice
Type
Closed framework
Call-offs
call-offs are awarded directly to appointed suppliers, without further competition
Bids received
2 bids on the busiest of 2 lots · 1 suppliers appointed
Framework period

4 yrs · up to 8 yrs from 1 Nov 2025, The contract requires the successful supplier for Lot 1 to have a depot within the borough of North East Lincolnshire. The depot will house their fleet, stock and provide welfare for their staff.

If the current incumbent is not successful, it would mean a new Supplier will possibly have the capital outlay and would not recover their costs over a four (4) year period.

This would be reflected within the tendered price and would not be attractive to the market.

An eight (8) year framework would allow a tenderer to spread the capital cost over the life of the framework. This would reduce the cost to the Authority and make the tender more attractive to the market.

The initial term would be for four years, however the further years would be granted based on performance.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework for the Installation and Maintenance of Road Lighting,…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.

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