Framework operation description
If a Framework User decides to hire Operated Plant through this Agreement it may order those Operated Plant set out in Schedule 3 of the framework agreement in accordance with the terms laid down in this Agreement and as more particularly described in clauses 8.2 to 8.7.
8.2 The Framework User shall identify the highest ranked supplier for the item(s) the Framework User wishes to order using the following approach:
8.2.1 The Framework User identifies the relevant Lot based on location within which the Plant is required and the relevant Sub-lot based on the item(s) of plant required.
8.2.2 Subject to Schedule 7 and any suspensions issued under it, the Framework User issues, to all suppliers on the identified Sub-lot, a notice outlining the item(s) of Plant required, the start date, delivery location and the duration of the order.
8.2.3 The notice shall identify the number of days within which the suppliers need to respond. Failure to respond by the specified date means a supplier will not be considered.
8.2.4 Suppliers in their responses must confirm the availability of the identified Plant and include the Proposed Operator's Detail for each item of Plant required.
8.2.5 The score for the supplier for each specific order is identified by adding the Operator Assessment Score and the Price Score and then multiplying the total by the KPI Factor.
8.2.6 The Proposed Operator's Detail is assessed by the Framework User in line with the Operator Assessment Scoring in order to produce an Operator Assessment Score.
8.2.7 The price for the item(s) of plant is taken from Schedule 4 of the Agreement and the price score is calculated using the formula; (lowest cost / cost) * maximum possible score (600).
8.2.8 The KPI Factor is taken from the latest KPI score available at the date of the response. If no KPI score is available the KPI score is assumed as 100.
8.2.9 The supplier with the highest overall score is awarded the Order.
8.3 The Authorised Officer shall issue the Order to the highest ranked supplier, identified by the process outlined at 8.2;
8.4 The Order issued constitutes an offer by the Framework User to hire the Operated Plant identified in accordance with this Agreement.
8.5 Following receipt of an Order, the Supplier shall in the period determined by the Framework User and notified to the Supplier in writing at the same time as the submission of the Order or, in the absence of such notification, within one (1) Business Day of the
date of the Order acknowledge receipt of the Order and either:
8.5.1 notify the Framework User that it declines to accept the Order; or
8.5.2 notify the Framework User that it accepts the Order by signing and returning the Order.
8.6 If the Supplier:
8.6.1 notifies the Framework User that it declines to accept an Order; or
8.6.2 fails to accept the Order in the time-limit referred to in clause 8.5
then the offer from the Framework User to the Supplier shall lapse.
8.7 Where the supplier first approached by the Framework User (as appropriate) under clause 8.2 does not accept an Order or clause 8.4 applies, the Framework User may, at its utmost discretion approach the next highest ranked supplier within the relevant Lot, repeat the process or enter into appropriate arrangements with other suppliers outside of the Agreement.
