- No preliminary market engagement: No additional preliminary market engagement has been undertaken for this Procurement.

How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework
- Call-offs
- call-offs may be awarded directly or by further competition
- Places
- up to 3 suppliers · 5 bids received (1.7 per place) · 3 appointed (full)
- Framework period
4 yrs from 1 Oct 2026, A four-year framework agreement is considered appropriate due to the ongoing and recurring nature of the service requirement. Establishing a longer-term arrangement will provide operational continuity, reduce the administrative burden and costs associated with repeated procurement exercises, and enable the supplier to plan and invest in the resources required to deliver the services effectively.
- Supplier levy on call-offs (max %)

Published description of the framework

- 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.
- “Skip Hire Framework - Ref 01040” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
