This will involve inviting bids from Suppliers on the framework and will be scaled to the size and complexity of the requirement (“Further Competition”)\nIt is anticipated that most contracts will be directly awarded.\nUsers of the framework will be able to refine, but not fundamentally alter, the criteria specified below. Each framework user will be able to decide what percentage of marks it wants to allocate to each of the evaluation criteria, within the maximum and minimum amounts allowed.\nThe award criteria for further competitions will be set within the ranges indicated in the table below:\nThe Service\tCan be between 10% and 70% and is to be determined at further competition\nSocial Value\tCan be between 0% and 20% and is to be determined at further competition\nTeam availability\tCan be between 0% and 30% and is to be determined at further competition\nQuality\tCan be between 10% and 70%\tand and is to be determined at further competition\nPrice\tCan be between 30% and 70%\tand is to be determined at further competition\nThe Council reserves the right for users of the framework to conduct a Direct Award process in addition to the further competition route, where the requirement can clearly be met through information supplied in their submitted Invitation to Tender by a single Supplier.\nDirect Awards will be made based on the information supplied in Applicants’ responses to the Invitation to Tender and from the prices submitted in the price schedule, and will take in to account:\n•\tThe services offered in the Invitation to Tender aligned with the specific requirement\n•\tThe price(s) quoted in the Price Schedule\n•\tWhere relevant, locality\n•\tExperience of the team relevant to the claim\n•\tTeam availability\n•\tAny capacity constraints indicated within the framework tender response.\nWhere a Provider is unable to fulfil the requirement at direct contract award, the next most appropriate Provider will be awarded the contract.\nPrices quoted by bidders may be used for direct award of contract. \nPrices quoted by the appointed suppliers in their tenders is the maximum they will be able to charge throughout the term of the framework, unless otherwise indicated in the terms and conditions of contract.\nThere is no guarantee of work under this framework agreement."

        "description": "When entering into contracts from the Framework Agreement, the Council will use the call-off terms and conditions included as a Schedule to the Terms and Conditions of Contract in accordance with the Framework Agreement.\nEach time the Council has a requirement it will either:\n•\tdirectly award a contract to one supplier from information supplied in this Invitation to Tender and from the prices submitted in the price schedule (“Direct Award”)\nor\n•\thold a competition involving all suppliers capable of performing the contract. This will involve inviting bids from Suppliers on the framework and will be scaled to the size and complexity of the requirement (“Further Competition”)\nIt is anticipated that most contracts will be directly awarded.\nUsers of the framework will be able to refine, but not fundamentally alter, the criteria specified below. Each framework user will be able to decide what percentage of marks it wants to allocate to each of the evaluation criteria, within the maximum and minimum amounts allowed.\nThe award criteria for further competitions will be set within the ranges indicated in the table below:\nThe Service\tCan be between 10% and 70% and is to be determined at further competition\nSocial Value\tCan be between 0% and 20% and is to be determined at further competition\nTeam availability\tCan be between 0% and 30% and is to be determined at further competition\nQuality\tCan be between 10% and 70%\tand and is to be determined at further competition\nPrice\tCan be between 30% and 70%\tand is to be determined at further competition\nThe Council reserves the right for users of the framework to conduct a Direct Award process in addition to the further competition route, where the requirement can clearly be met through information supplied in their submitted Invitation to Tender by a single Supplier.\nDirect Awards will be made based on the information supplied in Applicants’ responses to the Invitation to Tender and from the prices submitted in the price schedule, and will take in to account:\n•\tThe services offered in the Invitation to Tender aligned with the specific requirement\n•\tThe price(s) quoted in the Price Schedule\n•\tWhere relevant, locality\n•\tExperience of the team relevant to the claim\n•\tTeam availability\n•\tAny capacity constraints indicated within the framework tender response.\nWhere a Provider is unable to fulfil the requirement at direct contract award, the next most appropriate Provider will be awarded the contract.\nPrices quoted by bidders may be used for direct award of contract. \nPrices quoted by the appointed suppliers in their tenders is the maximum they will be able to charge throughout the term of the framework, unless otherwise indicated in the terms and conditions of contract.\nThere is no guarantee of work under this framework agreement."

    "description": "Norfolk County Council requires legal services for the in-house insurance team to predominately help support the delivery of the claims service, and is re-tendering its expiring framework agreement for these services. \nThe insurance team is a team of 12 staff led by the Head of Insurance and comprises a mixture of claims handler investigators and insurance officers with administrative support provided by the Business Support Team. \nLegal representation is required by the insurance team to predominately help support the delivery of the claims service.\nLegal representatives will need to provide a high standard of professional service advice and guidance on all matters relating to insurance claims handled by the team. Typical duties will include but not be limited to:\n•\tProvision of general legal advice\n•\tRepresenting the authority in litigation\n•\tMaintaining a knowledge of issues facing the authority and being prepared to offer legal opinions\n•\tSupporting the development and knowledge of the insurance team.\nThe insurance team provide support to the Norse Group and as such require coverage across the country. \nFull details of the requirement can be found in the Service Specification, which forms a Schedule to the Terms and Conditions. \nPlease note that Norfolk County Council has joined the government's Devolution Priority Programme.  \nThis process has the potential to lead to the establishment of a county combined authority for Norfolk and Suffolk, with strategic powers, headed by an elected mayor.  \nGovernment has also invited participation by Norfolk in Local Government Review. This process has the potential to lead to unitary local government in Norfolk. One of these changes could happen without the other. The contract may be assigned or novated to any successor authority(ies) to Norfolk County Council or to any joint body incorporating or formed by any such successor. The County Council or a successor authority or joint body may order services on behalf of other local authorities serving any area within Norfolk's current geographical boundaries.\nMarket engagement has not been undertaken. The Risk and Insurance Team are reprocuring an existing framework agreement and are not changing the substance of the service, and therefore there was little value in holding market engagement when a planned procurement notice and pipeline notice have already been published to give the market forewarning of the upcoming procurement.",
