How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework
- Call-offs
- every call-off is a further competition among the appointed suppliers
- Framework period
- 2 yrs · up to 4 yrs from 1 Sept 2025
Published description of the framework
The framework will consist of an initial term of two years, with two further options to extend by up to 12 months each at the sole discretion of the Authority. Works are expected to commence in September 2025.
Prices and Rankings will remain fixed for the first nineteen months of the framework (until 31 March 2027). During the Framework the Authority reserves the right to carry out Benchmarking at 12 monthly intervals (6 monthly intervals in year 3 and 4 should the extension option be utilised) with Ranked 2 and 3 Framework Suppliers and where necessary will carry out a Price refresh Mini Competition which will be issued to all Framework Suppliers. Depending on the outcome of any Price Refresh Mini Competition the ranking order may change.

- Quality: 35%
- Pricing Criteria: 65%
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: Quality Criteria as per tender documents
- Pricing Criteria: Price schedule as per tender documents
- Price carries 65 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Contract 22 - Air Conditioning Maintenance” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
