Published description of the framework
Detailed evaluation criteria for appointment to the OFW are set out in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) and include:
Price 10% (based on itemised costs for an example airlifting scope):
Quality:
- Sub-criteria:
o QC1 Experience, past performance and ability to deliver work to meet the contract objectives and specifications - 45%
o Q2 Technical and delivery capability - 44%
Social Value, climate change and carbon reduction - 1%
Evaluation criteria for Further Competitions for call-off contracts under the OFW will be set by the Authority, but will not be fundamentally different from the criteria for appointment to the OFW.
The OFW also includes an immediate Further Competition for a call-off contract under the OFW for MFF164-01 works package 2025-26. Detailed evaluation criteria are set out in the ITT, and are as follows:
Price ( 60% of the total score value);
Quality criteria (39% of the total score value), comprising the below:
Quality Criteria 1 (20%): Experience, past performance and ability to deliver work to meet the contract objectives and specifications
o Description of works previously delivered including types, amount and timescales completed
o Provision of references for above works
Quality Criteria 2 (19%): Technical and Delivery Capability
o Description / list resources available
o Description / list equipment available
o Method statements for each works type
Social Value Criteria (1% of the total score value)
Please see ITT for further details.

- Technical and Delivery Capability: o Description / list resources available o Description / list equipment available o Method statements for each works type
- Social Value Criteria: o Description of how the Supplier would create positive impact on people and communities, through one or more of the following aspects of social value : Social/wellbeing improvements for individuals and communities Economic benefits that uplift society's wellbeing; Environmental; encouraging sustainable processes.
- Price carries 10 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “MFF164-01 aerial works 2025-28” 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.
