Call-Off Contracts awarded through the open framework will be for an initial period of 4 years with the possibility of extensions of up to 2 years.
A competitive selection process to establish a ranking of Tenders will be used to carry out a mini competition for the award of a call -off contract on the basis of the most advantageous tender, based on a weighted assessment of 70% price and 30% quality.
The pricing assessment mechanism is set out at 2.13 of the ITT document.
The quality component will be comprised of method statement(s) (10% weighting) and interview (10% weighting), and a presentation (10% weighting).
Following the evaluation of the price (70%) and the method statement(s) (10%) only a maximum of the top FOUR highest scoring Tenderers for each service, will be shortlisted and invited to an interview (10%) and to give a presentation (10%).
