- Shortlisting
For each Lot, a shortlist of the highest-ranked tenderers will be identified based on price, being those with a realistic prospect of award.
- Quality Evaluation (Shortlisted Tenderers Only)
Shortlisted tenderers will be evaluated against quality criteria including:
- Project-specific methodology
- Health and safety
- Finance, legal and procurement compliance
- Social value
- Final Scoring and Award
Total scores (price and quality) will be combined to determine the Most Advantageous Tender for each Lot and response category.
No negotiation is envisaged as part of this procedure. The Council reserves the right to seek clarifications in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023.
The framework will appoint multiple suppliers per Lot and category, with call-off by direct award in accordance with the framework terms.
- Risks
The following risks to contract performance have been identified:
- Demand variability: The volume and nature of reactive works may fluctuate, including peaks due to weather events or unforeseen incidents.
- Emergency response requirements: The need for rapid response (within 2 hours) may present operational challenges for suppliers.
- Resource availability: Availability of skilled labour, materials and specialist equipment may impact delivery times.
- Supply chain constraints: External factors may affect material supply, pricing and lead times.
- Health and safety risks: Certain works involve higher-risk activities requiring strict adherence to safety procedures.
- Access constraints: Works in occupied buildings or public spaces may require careful coordination and limit operational flexibility.
The Council will work with appointed suppliers to manage these risks through performance monitoring, communication and appropriate contract management arrangements.
