Published description of the framework
Single supplier direct award
Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure
2 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 1 and win at most 1 of them · same evaluation weights on every lotEvery one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £700,000: 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.

Published sub-criteria (3)
- Technical Criteria - as per tender documents: 40%
- Well-being Impacts: 10%
- Costs of delivering the planned maintenance schedule: 50%
Published award criteria (3)
- Technical Criteria - as per tender documents: Delivery model, risk management and work management to be demonstrated. Refer to tender documents
- Well-being Impacts: Supplier's current and future initiatives to reduce emissions and pollution in the delivery of their services
- Costs of delivering the planned maintenance schedule: Suppliers to be scored on a schedule of rates of key resources to deliver planned and reactive maintenance over the course of the framework
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “UK7 Contract details notice following the award of Framework Agreement…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, 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.
