six.3) Additional information
In section I.2 it is stated that this is a joint procurement and contract award is by a central purchasing body. This Framework Agreement is not a joint contract, it is a central purchasing body Framework Agreement operated by Business Services Organisation, Procurement and Logistics Service on behalf of the Northern Health and Social Care Trust. The Contracting Authority will identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) on the basis of the Price 90% and Social Value 10% once full compliance has been demonstrated with all of the elements of the specification, including Quality - Pass/Fail and any other requirements as listed in the tender documentation. This tender contains 13 Lots one of which is Mandatory for Award Criteria, for the further 12 Lots Tenderers can bid for one Lot, more than one Lot or all Lots. It is the intention to award a place on the Framework Agreement to a minimum of three ranked Tenderers with the highest percentage weighted score where sufficient compliance bids are received. Should less than 3 compliant bids be received for any Section the Award will still proceed for the compliant bids which have been received for that Section. Should there be no compliant bids received for a Section(s) this will result in a no award for that Section(s). Tenderers must bid for all pricing elements within each Section(s) bid for. The 10% for Social Value and details of the Quality split and the evaluation process incorporating Price, Quality, Social Value and Compliance are provided as part of the Tender Evaluation Methodology and Marking Scheme (TEMMS) (SS20b). The value shown in II.1.5 shows the estimated total value which has been calculated on the basis of a maximum 4 year Call-Off Contract(s) with the option of 48 month extension period(s), contingency for Secondary Competitions, potential extension(s) for procurement exercises, potential price increases during the Framework Agreement and any Call-Off Contract. Please note that in regard to IV.1.3 where it states, “Envisaged maximum number of participants to the framework agreement: 84”, this should read, ‘Envisaged minimum number of participants to the framework agreement: 84’. Under this Framework Agreement and Call-Off Contract(s) the Framework Provider/Contractor will be required to support the Client's social benefit objectives. Accordingly, Call-Off Contract performance conditions will relate, in particular, to social value for all Lots. LATE TENDERS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
