What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe purpose of this ITT is to assist ORE Catapult in establishing a Framework Agreement for
the provision of Digital Services by appointing a number of professional, reliable Tenderers
to meet their ongoing requirements.
The Digital Services Framework Agreement shall be a multi-Tenderer Framework Agreement
and it is anticipated that a maximum of eight (8) Tenderers shall be appointed to this
Framework to provide a fair and transparent service to ORE Catapult. However, ORE
Catapult reserves the right to appoint fewer or more than this number if deemed to be in
their best interests, e.g. value for money, geographical location.
Contract awards made under the terms of this Framework Agreement for provision of Digital
Services may be co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) or other
EU funding bodies.

Published sub-criteria (2)
- Technical: 60%
- price: 40%
Published award criteria (2)
- Technical: 60
- Price: 40
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Digital Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 8 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

In the first instance, all appeals should be promptly brought to the attention of the contact specified in Section I above, and will be dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Any appeals must be brought within the timescales specified by the applicable law, including without limitation, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. In accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the contracting authority will also incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period from the date information on award of contract is communicated to tenderers.
