The framework period will be for 2 years with option to extend for an additional 2 years. It is intended for the framework to commence 16th June 2025. This framework will allow for: Direct award without re-opening competition. Direct Award of each Works Package Order will be made on the basis of Price and Availability. The Pricing Schedule submitted at the tender stage will be used to price the works required. Each Works Package Order will be priced by applying quantities against the items pertaining to the works into the Pricing Schedule to determine the lowest. The lowest-priced holder will be asked to confirm their availability to carry out the works. If the lowest-priced holder is not available, the same process will be carried out with the next lowest. This will continue until a suitable award is made. Further Competition Further competitions will be used where the Council cannot make a direct award determination and in a further competition all Framework Suppliers capable of providing the Services will be invited to tender. The successful supplier will be required to actively participate in the economic and social regeneration of the locality of, and surroundings of, the place of delivery of the contract. Therefore, selection and award criteria, specification requirements and contract performance conditions may relate in particular to social and environmental considerations as relevant to the subject matter of this project.
