This contract does not guarantee the supplier will be allocated work or the quantity or frequency of the work. Work will be allocated to suppliers using the following objectively defined criteria;
- According to the overall quality/price score. Suppliers will be placed in order of high to low score and the supplier with the highest score will be approached first.
- If a supplier has previously provided advice on the site (for example at EOR, pre-app or if at Appeal, at the application stage) this supplier may be chosen over the supplier with the preferable quality/price score.
