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 4 suppliers · 8 bids on the busiest of 3 lots (2.0 per place) · 7 appointed (full)
- Framework period
4 yrs from 1 Sept 2026, Various works will be required with shorter timelines due to many being grant funded. A framework will allow a quicker route to market.
Published description of the framework
Framework call off will be made using one of the following options ;
- Direct Award to the highest ranked supplier for that lot subject to conditions (See ITT on etenderwales for further details)
- Direct Award using a desk top calculator :
a. Using framework scores for both technical and commercial but allowance of up to 20% variance in original framework scores for each. Social value to remain at 10%
b. Using framework quality scores but asking all suppliers on the appropriate framework lot to submit new pricing scores for input into the calculator - as if a above technical and commercial scores may be adjusted by a maximum of 20%. Social value will remain at 10%
- Competitive Quote - Where quality across all bidders on the framework are acceptable, suppliers on the appropriate lot are asked to price for works and the winning bidder presents the lowest price.
- Mini Competition - where all bidders on the appropriate lot are asked to bid by use of mini competition rescoring quality and price for that specific project.

Lot #1Electrical Minor Works (£100k to £1m Excl VAT)Awardedceiling above

- Lot 3: Building & Grounds Works
The scope, value, and volume of works to be delivered under the Framework will depend on the University’s operational requirements, available budgets, and funding approvals. The University makes no guarantee of any minimum or maximum level of work under the Framework or under any individual Lot.
