This contract is a multiple Contractor Framework Agreement to provide additional capacity to Fife Council’s in-house Roads Operations. Work will be issued as concise Work Packages as and when required. The duration of the Framework will be 24 months. The contract has an option to be extended by a further 24 months. The Council retain the right to end the contract at any point.
The Contract is not divided into lots of work. Only Contractors who have been accepted onto the Framework Agreement will be eligible to be awarded Work Packages issued during the term of the agreement. The Council reserves the right to issue contracts only when they are deemed to meet Best Value.
Each contract issued through the Framework Agreement will be termed as a Work Package and can vary in value but will be less than 1,000,000 GBP in value. Individual contracts greater than this value will be procured outwith the Framework Agreement in accordance with the appropriate Fife Council advertising and tendering procedures. The Council further reserves the right to procure discrete schemes of any value outwith the Framework Agreement and in accordance with the appropriate Fife Council advertising and tendering procedures.

- Suitability
The Specification for Highway Works (SHW) applies to all Work packages issued through this Framework Agreement. Not all of the National Highway Sector Schemes (NHSS) from Appendix A of the SHW will be mandatory. Appendix 0/2 of Volume 2 of the Framework Agreement stipulates the NHSS schemes that are mandatory and those that are not. Those listed as mandatory will apply to all businesses undertaking any of these Works/ Services unless the business complies with any alternative requirement that may be stipulated in the comments column of Appendix A of SHW. If your business subcontracts the work, you do not have to be registered but any subcontractor you use must be.

- 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.
- “Framework Agreement C14 Lighting Installation Works up to 1,000,000…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
