How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework
- Call-offs
- every call-off is a further competition among the appointed suppliers
- Framework period
- 3 yrs · up to 4 yrs from 11 May 2026
Published description of the framework
The call-off mechanism for this framework is to run individual mini-competitions by contacting all suppliers appointed to the relevant Lot for a quote each time an order is required.
Lots and requirements (3)Procurement structure
3 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lotEvery one of these 3 lots carries the same published figure, £54,000: 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 award criteria (2)
- Price: Pricing evaluation as per tender documents
- Quality: Quality criteria evaluation as per tender documents
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Provision of Promotional Items” 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.
