Framework operation description
Calling Off Authority will enter into a call-off contract directly with the successful Framework Supplier, following a Mini-Competition.
The Supply Contract will be on the terms set in accordance with the tender or such other terms as required in the invitation to Mini Competition.
The Framework Administrator will send Framework Suppliers an invitation to take part in each Mini-Competition for the Lots for which they have entered into Framework Agreement.
The invitation to tender for Mini-Competition will detail, as a minimum, the following pieces of information:
Type of contract (Fixed Price (Lot 1) or Flexible (Lot 2)) - Where Lot 2, the Framework Administrator will stipulate if this is a bespoke contract or to be added to a specific basket
Calling Off Authority details (i.e. contacting party for Supply Contract)
Site(s) that require pricing - name, address, Meter Point Reference number and consumption information (AQ, interval data as appropriate)
Supply Contract start date
Term for the Supply Contract(s) (e.g. 12, 24, 36 months)
The date and time by which the response to the invitation to tender for Mini-Competition must be submitted
Any other additional requirements
The Calling Off Authority, through the Framework Administrator, will evaluate the prices submitted on a like-for-like basis by applying the proposed rates to the consumption data set out in the invitation to tender for Mini-Competition.
For the avoidance of doubt, for Lot 2 contracts, the wholesale pricing element will be normalised to ensure a fair comparison between the Framework Suppliers' proposals.
As all Framework Suppliers have passed the capability assessment to get into the Mini-Competition stage, the supplier with the lowest, evaluated price (following normalisation) based on the specification will be adjudged to be the successful Framework Supplier and will be awarded the Supply Contract.
