Published description of the framework

Suppliers will be ranked based on their technical and commercial scores at award stage of this Framework. Call Off contracts will then be awarded via Direct Award or through further mini-competition with awarded suppliers under the applicable Lots. Specific technical and/or commercial elements will be awarded, scored and fed back on for all suppliers at framework award stage.

Lots and requirements (4)Procurement structure

4 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 4 lots carries the same published figure, £19,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 135 of 205 points: a 10% discount moves about 13.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework agreement for the provision of Homecare Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
