What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Framework for the Provision of Asbestos Consultancy Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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

Review procedure

Kirklees Council incorporated a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on entering into the agreement was issued to participating economic operators.

Additional information may be requested from the addressee found in I.1).

If an appeal regarding entering into the agreement has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) provides for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Any such action must be brought promptly (within 30 days beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for such action had arisen).

Following the correct implementation of the 10 day standstill period and publication of appropriate notices the court may only award damages as the agreement has been entered into.

Publisher note: The contracting authority considered that this framework agreement was suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises ('SMEs'). However, any selection of economic operators was based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement, and suppliers were appointed to the framework on the basis of the most economically advantageous tenders.
