How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework
- Call-offs
- call-offs are awarded directly to appointed suppliers, without further competition
- Framework period
- 3 yrs · up to 4 yrs from 11 Jan 2027
- Supplier levy on call-offs (max %)
1% of call-off value · Fees will be charged at a fixed percentage of the actual value of invoices paid to Suppliers. On that basis Suppliers will not be charged fees if they have not been awarded any contracts. The fixed percentage will be 1% of the actual value of invoices paid (across all Lots) to each Supplier, charged retrospectively on an annual basis.
Published description of the framework
Each time an item is required by the Authority, the lowest priced Suppliers’ product will be chosen. If the item is not available, then the next lowest priced Supplier will be approached and so on. Where there are two or more items that are priced the same, by individual Suppliers, the Authority will purchase firstly from the Supplier that scored the highest overall (quality and price) marks in the tender.

- Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Supply of Highways Materials and Rock Salt” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
