Published description of the framework

Using the Framework - Call-off (Allocation) process

Lot 1

Further competition with all contractors able to meet the requirement. Further competitions will be evaluated using the following criteria or part thereof -

  • Pricing (range to be 50-100%)
  • Quality (range to be 0-50%, including Social Value where applicable)

Individual weightings and criteria will be advised at the time of further competition - these may differ from that stated for the Framework Agreement. Call-offs over approx. £1M in value may involve the requirement of a Performance Bond. Call-offs will be in accordance with JCT Intermediate 2016 contract (amended).

Lot 2

Generally further competition with all contractors able to meet the requirement. Further competitions will be evaluated using the following criteria or part thereof -

  • Pricing (range to be 50-100%)
  • Quality (range to be 0-50%, including Social Value where applicable)

Individual weightings and criteria will be advised at the time of further competition - these may differ from that stated for the Framework Agreement.

For requirements under £50K, the Council may, in its absolute discretion, Direct Award to any supplier appointed to this Lot.

Call-offs will be in accordance with JCT Minor Works 2016 (amended).

Lot 3

Generally further competition with all contractors able to meet the requirement. Further competitions will be evaluated using the following criteria or part thereof -

  • Pricing (range to be 50-100%)
  • Quality (range to be 0-50%, including Social Value where applicable)

Individual weightings and criteria will be advised at the time of further competition - these may differ from that stated for the Framework Agreement.

For requirements under £50K, the Council may, in its absolute discretion, Direct Award to any supplier appointed to this Lot.

Where the work involves the replacement/installation of a proprietary roofing system and only one contractor on the Lot has the necessary accreditation to install that system, the Council may Direct Award to that contractor.

Call-offs will be in accordance with JCT Intermediate 2016 contract (amended), or JCT Minor Works 2016 (amended).

Lot 4

Under Lot 4, individual contracts are to be awarded directly in accordance with the ranking, although the Council may, in its absolute discretion, award to any contractor appointed to this Lot, and reference should be made to the applicable contract terms as being JCT Minor Works (amended)

  1. Pricing

Pricing for Lots 1, 2 and 3 is to be determined on a project by project basis through further competition/Direct Award as appropriate.

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.
  • “Establishment of a Framework for the Supply, Installation and Repair…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 18 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.
