Further information about fees
CHIC's costs for the services it provides for its members are recovered from transaction fees applied to all supplies, works and services delivered under call off contracts. CHIC is a non-profit making organisation, owned by its members.
At the establishment of a framework, in the pricing documents, there is a transaction fee added to the Suppliers prices. The level of the fee varies according to the type of works, supplies or services and the contract value. Under call off contracts this fee will be collected by the supplier in the prices charged to members and paid (rebated) to CHIC, which will invoice on a retrospective basis.
CHIC reserves the right to vary the transaction fee (which can range from 0.5%-4%) for individual contracts, dependent upon the contract value and level of management support each member requires
Framework operation description
CHIC is acting as a Centralised Procurement Authority (CPA) for our members (Contracting Authorities). Members that decide to use the framework must comply with the Act and they can delegate their obligations to carry out call-off exercises in whole or in part to CHIC. Call-off contracts may be awarded with or without competition(direct award contract (DAC)). Any DAC by a member will be subject to a business case complying with the objective mechanism of the framework and the core terms of the call-off contracts. A 'competitive selection process' will be used including 'conditions of participation' to assess suppliers' technical ability to perform the contract. In a competitive selection process,any assessment of suppliers' proposals must be based on some or all of the award criteria used to assess tenders at framework award, which may be refined,e.g.,additional sub-criteria may be included or the criteria explained further. Call-off contracts may extend beyond the term of the framewor
