- Economic & financial standing
In accordance with Regulation 59(12), as this proposed Framework Agreement is divided into Lots, these Economic and Financial Standing selection criteria apply separately in relation to each individual lot.
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS:
It is a requirement of the contracts to be procured under the proposed framework agreement that tenderers hold, or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below:
ALL LOTS
EMPLOYERS (COMPULSORY) LIABILITY = a minimum indemnity limit of 5 million GBP per occurrence.

In accordance with Regulation 59(12), as this proposed Framework Agreement is divided into Lots, these Technical and professional ability selection criteria apply separately in relation to each individual lot.
Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required:
Further to the identified selection criteria outlined above, full guidance and the minimum levels of standards required are outlined in the "0620 - III.1.3 Technical and Professional Ability" document, which can be found in the "Information and Instructions" folder in the "Buyer Attachments" area, within ITT 38047 of project 17595.
- Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Supply, Delivery & Installation of Education & Office Furniture” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 20 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
