How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework
- Call-offs
- call-offs are awarded directly to appointed suppliers, without further competition
- Places
- up to 3 suppliers · 3 bids received (1.0 per place) · 3 appointed (full)
- Framework period
- 2 yrs · up to 4 yrs from 1 Aug 2026
Published description of the framework
A maximum of 3 suppliers will be awarded to the Framework (3 highest scoring tenderers).
When awarding a call-off, the Authority will apply the following criteria in sequence:
- Suitability
- The supplier must be able to meet the specific requirements of the call-off (e.g., technical capability, geographic coverage, relevant specialism).
- If more than one supplier is suitable, the Authority will proceed to the next criterion.
- Availability
- Among suitable suppliers, the Authority will identify which supplier(s) can deliver the requirement within the required timeframe.
- If more than one supplier is available, the Authority will proceed to the next criterion.
- Cost
- Where multiple suppliers remain suitable and available, the suppler offering the lowest total cost (in line with Framework pricing schedules) will be awarded the call-off.

Published award criteria (2)
- Pricing
- Quality
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “The Provision of Vehicle Body Repairs” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
