Member Organisations will consider the strategic direction and operational requirements of their organisation and decide where Direct Award, Ranked Award or Further Competition is most appropriate.
For Direct and Ranked Awards, members will only be able to refine their requirements by clarifying open points from within this specification. Further additional requirements will require a further competition to be undertaken.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
- Economic & financial standing
Bidders must meet the turnover thresholds set out in the ITT.
- Technical & professional ability
Bidders must meet the grounds for participation set out in the ITT.
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “Stairlifts and Lifting Equipment Framework 2026” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, 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.
