Lots and requirements (7)Procurement structure

7 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 7 lots carries the same published figure, £1,440,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “HCC - 09/22 - The Provision of a Targeted Parenting Framework” 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

The Contracting Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day (when using electronic means) standstill period at the point information on the award of the Framework Agreement is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the decision to award a Framework before a Framework is executed/signed (as appropriate). The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (‘Regulations’) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or 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 and within the time limits as defined in the above regulations. Where a Framework has not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the Framework has been entered into the court has the options to award damages and/or to shorten or order the Framework ineffective.

Publisher note: Please Note: The value referred to in V.2.4 for each Lot is the total value over the Framework Agreement period for all Lots and not each individual Lot. There is no form of guarantee or exclusivity within this Framework Agreement.
