Published requirement description

This procurement relates to the supply of Ceramic Wall Tiles, covering both New Build and Major Works programmes.

The estimated total value of the Framework Agreement over the four-year term is £3,523,648, comprising Lot 1 (New Build) and Lot 2 (Major Works).

The Framework Agreement is for the supply of goods only. Products must be supplied directly to L&Q by manufacturers, and submissions from distributors, wholesalers, resellers or other intermediary organisations will not be accepted.

  • How the procedure runs: 4.1 L&Q's aims and objectives are to: • Establish a compliant multi lot framework that delivers value for money, quality, and continuity of supply. The framework will be divided into the following lots, Lot 1 New Build(Supply Only and Lot 2 Major Works/Refurbishments (Supply Only). L&Q intends to appoint a minimum of two suppliers but reserves the right to appoint more or fewer depending on the outcome of the procurement. • L&Q intends to procure the Framework using a three-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure comprising Stage 1 - Selection Questionnaire (PSQ), Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT), and Stage 3 - Negotiation and Best and Final Offer (BAFO), followed by contract award. A minimum of the top three ranked Tenderers from the ITT stage will ordinarily be invited to participate in the BAFO stage; however, L&Q reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to invite any number of Tenderers to this stage. • As part of the BAFO stage, L&Q may require Tenderers to participate in clarification meetings, interviews, presentations, demonstrations, and/or site visits to further evaluate proposals and inform the final assessment. Details of any such activities, including the evaluation approach and scoring methodology where applicable, will be communicated to Tenderers in advance. • L&Q also reserves the right not to undertake Stage 3 - Negotiation and Best and Final Offer (BAFO) and may proceed directly to contract award following Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT) where it considers this to be appropriate. • Ensure commercial certainty and added value, requiring fixed pricing for a minimum of 12 months from Framework commencement, delivery of social value equivalent to 1% of the end of year contract value, and the inclusion of plot based rebates where applicable.

  • Quality Questions
  • Pricing
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.
  • “London and Quadrant Housing Trust - Cermaic Wall Tiles Supply Only…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.

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