Lots and requirements (6)Procurement structure

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

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £5,000,000: 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.

Conditions of participation3
  • Suitability

    All suppliers should be members of recognised industry/sector bodies representing their particular field of material and product supply, which supports both quality and service excellence. Information to be provided in SPD, Section:- A: Suitability.

  • Economic & financial standing

    Suppliers are required to hold the following levels of Insurance:

    Employer's Liability insurance to the value of at least FIVE MILLION (GBP 5,000,000) POUNDS STERLING.

    Public Liability insurance to the value of at least FIVE MILLION (GBP 5,000,000) POUNDS STERLING.

    Professional Indemnity insurance to the value of at least FIVE MILLION (GBP 5,000,000) POUNDS STERLING.

    SPD Question 4C.1.2

    Tenderers will be required to provide two (2) examples of a similar scope, size and nature, of working directly with Registered Social Landlords, Local Authority or other similar sectors within the last 3 years that demonstrates that they have the relevant experience to deliver the materials, products and services required. This should include:

    • The value for each of the two contracts.
    • The scope of the requirements for these two contracts.
    • The organisations details for the two contracts.
    • Reference contacts at the two organisations.
    • The total term for each of the two contracts.
    Minimum: All tenderers must pass the minimum requirements as detailed in this contract notice and SPD documentation.
Staff
Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Material and Product Supply (2022 – 2026/27)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 12 suppliers, not a single contract.

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