Framework operation description
The process for calling off work from the framework will be as follows:
• Officers identify a need for temporary traffic management works in an area
• Officers use the key rates submitted with the winning bidders for the area to assess the lowest price supplier for the works
• Officers contact the lowest price supplier to confirm availability within the required timescale.
• If not available, officers contact the next lowest price supplier until an available supplier is identified
• Details of the works are issued to the supplier and a full price requested
• Providing the price is consistent with the submitted rates (within 10% of the estimated price) the contract is awarded
• Where the price is not consistent with the submitted rates (more than 10% over the estimated price) extenuating circumstances may be considered (e.g. emergency works, high complexity, work required outside normal working hours, etc)
• Where the price is not consistent with the submitted rates and no extenuating circumstances justify the increase, a second price is sought from the next lowest price supplier and the scheme awarded based on two quotes.
