If a customer can still not determine which Provider is able to offer MAT, as a last step Social Value/Sustainability scores from the Framework level shall be added to the Quality scores as a total %.

The exact scoring scale will be determined at the Call-Off Competitive Selection Process stage and made clear within the relevant Call-Off documents.\nThe cost reopening option may only be used for simplified service requirements in which a Contracting Authority has a full specification and can provide a clear requirement for Providers to price against. All Providers will be invited to submit their price proposal. The Contracting Authority will evaluate this based on the existing weighting established at Framework level, or at 100% cost weighting through a Request for Quote (RfQ).\nFor RfQ conducted by schools, the suggested timelines are three (3) - ten (10) working days (depending on the complexity, urgency of the quote and availability of the staff) unless otherwise agreed.\nFor other Contracting Authorities such as Local Authorities, NHS Trusts, Housing Associations, Fire and Police Authorities, Universities, the suggested RFQ times are five (5) - fifteen (15) working days (depending on the complexity of the quote, urgency and availability of the staff) unless otherwise agreed.\nAll Providers will be invited to submit their cost proposals.\nAt the Competitive Selection Process stage, Contracting Authorities will publish their own specific requirements by reference to the above award criteria, to which Providers will be expected to respond. These requirements may include, but are not limited to:\nparticular delivery timescales;\nbudgetary requirements;\nparticular invoicing arrangements and payment profiles;\nup to date schedule of assets including last date of inspection and upcoming date of inspection;\nparticular associated services, e.g., insurance cover, inspection of EV charging points, inspection of solar panels, assets tagging;\nre-establishment of pricing;\nSocial Value in relation to the Call-Off Contract and/or compliance with Social Value measurement tool;\namended or refined the Call-Off Terms and Conditions to reflect its service requirements;\ntime limit for the receipt of the proposals which takes into account factors such as the time needed to submit proposals, next inspection date etc.;\nrequirements around online electronic reporting system and reporting requirements;\nService Level Agreements and KPIs.\nIt is intended that most Competitive Selection Processes ran under this Open Framework will be conducted using a one stage process.\nHowever, Contracting Authorities have the option to incorporate one or more of the following elements into their one-stage Competitive Selection Process:\n- Reverse electronic auctions\n- Electronic reporting system assessment\n- Enhanced provider due diligence checks\n- Supplier engagement event\n- Supplier presentations/ interviews\n- Dialogue\n- Site visits\n- Pre-tender negotiations\n- Post-tender clarification\n- Best and final offers\n- Post-tender negotiation\n- Negotiation of insurance policy wording and premium at the tender stage\n- Conditions of Participation and/or Mandatory Requirements\n- Down-selection of providers by reference to conditions of membership\nThe exact Competitive Selection Process procedure will be described by the Contracting Authority in the Call-Off competition documents.\nFor Competitive Selection Process Call-Offs, a mechanism for determining the price payable will be as follows:\nContracting Authorities will provide a Pricing Schedule at the Competitive Selection Process stage, which all participating Providers will be required to complete and return as part of the \"sealed bid\" process.\nIt is expected that pricing will be evaluated by reference to a schedule of assets/items and frequency of the inspection required along with any additional services required, for example asset tagging, Written Schemes of Examination, insurance cover.\nAt the Competitive Selection Process stage pricing will be evaluated using methodology stated in clause Tender Documents. Contracting Authorities have an option to use alternative methodologies, provided that it is described in the Competitive Selection Process documents.\nIn accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, the customer may choose to refine or amend the terms of the Call-Off Contract provided they do not alter the overall nature of the Framework or intended Call-Off Contract and its core terms.

These requirements may include, but are not limited to:\nparticular delivery timescales; \nbudgetary requirements;\nparticular invoicing arrangements and payment profiles;\nup to date schedule of assets including last date of inspection and upcoming date of inspection;\nparticular associated services, e.g., insurance cover, inspection of EV charging points, inspection of solar panels, assets tagging;\nre-establishment of pricing;\nSocial Value in relation to the Call-Off Contract and/or compliance with Social Value measurement tool;\namended or refined the Call-Off Terms and Conditions to reflect its service requirements;\ntime limit for the receipt of the proposals which takes into account factors such as the time needed to submit proposals, next inspection date etc.;\nrequirements around online electronic reporting system and reporting requirements;\nService Level Agreements and KPIs.\nIt is intended that most Competitive Selection Processes ran under this Open Framework will be conducted using a one stage process.\nHowever, Contracting Authorities have the option to incorporate one or more of the following elements into their one-stage Competitive Selection Process:\n- Reverse electronic auctions\n- Electronic reporting system assessment\n- Enhanced provider due diligence checks\n- Supplier engagement event\n- Supplier presentations/ interviews\n- Dialogue \n- Site visits\n- Pre-tender negotiations\n- Post-tender clarification\n- Best and final offers\n- Post-tender negotiation\n- Negotiation of insurance policy wording and premium at the tender stage\n- Conditions of Participation and/or Mandatory Requirements\n- Down-selection of providers by reference to conditions of membership\nThe exact Competitive Selection Process procedure will be described by the Contracting Authority in the Call-Off competition documents.\nFor Competitive Selection Process Call-Offs, a mechanism for determining the price payable will be as follows:\nContracting Authorities will provide a Pricing Schedule at the Competitive Selection Process stage, which all participating Providers will be required to complete and return as part of the \"sealed bid\" process. \nIt is expected that pricing will be evaluated by reference to a schedule of assets/items and frequency of the inspection required along with any additional services required, for example asset tagging, Written Schemes of Examination, insurance cover. \nAt the Competitive Selection Process stage pricing will be evaluated using methodology stated in clause Tender Documents. Contracting Authorities have an option to use alternative methodologies, provided that it is described in the Competitive Selection Process documents. \nIn accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, the customer may choose to refine or amend the terms of the Call-Off Contract provided they do not alter the overall nature of the Framework or intended Call-Off Contract and its core terms. Any such amendments must also comply with the conditions set out in Schedule 8 and section 74 of the Procurement Act 2023. Any such amendments will be contained within the Competitive Selection Process documents and/or Letter of Appointment prior to award.", "openFrameworkSchemeEndDate": "2034-03-31T23:59:59+01:00", "buyerLocationRestrictions": [ { "gazetteer": { "scheme": "GB-ITL", "identifiers": [ "UK" ] } } ] } }, "submissionMethodDetails": "https://procontract.due-north.com/Login", "submissionTerms": { "electronicSubmissionPolicy": "allowed", "languages": [ "en" ] }, "tenderPeriod": { "endDate": "2025-12-08T14:00:00Z" }, "enquiryPeriod": { "endDate": "2025-11-07T14:00:00Z" }, "awardPeriod": { "endDate": "2026-03-09T23:59:59Z" }, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "status": "active", "value": { "amountGross": 48000000, "currency": "GBP" }, "awardCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "type": "quality", "name": "Quality", "description": "AC1 - Delivery of engineering inspection services through a national framework\nAC2 - Qualifications and experience \nAC3 - Customer service and complaints procedure \nAC4 - Systems and online tools \nAC5 - Compliance with laws and legislation\nAC6 - Modern Slavery within supply chain", "numbers": [ { "number": 55, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "cost", "name": "Cost", "description": "Pricing Schedule", "numbers": [ { "number": 35, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Social Value/Sustainability", "description": "AC7 - Theme 1 - Good Jobs with Skills, Development and Training Opportunities\nAC8 - Social Value Theme 5 - Environmental improvement and protection", "numbers": [ { "number": 10, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] } ] }, "selectionCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "type": "economic", "description": "As per Tender Documentation." }, { "type": "technical", "description": "As per Tender Documentation." } ] }, "suitability": { "sme": true }, "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2026-04-01T00:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2028-03-31T23:59:59+01:00", "maxExtentDate": "2034-03-31T23:59:59+01:00" }, "hasRenewal": true, "renewal": { "description": "Open Framework 1: 01/04/2026 - 31/03/2028\nOpen Framework 2: 01/04/2028 - 31/03/2030\nOpen Framework 3: 01/04/2030 - 31/03/2034\nThe maximum duration of all Frameworks in the Open Framework scheme will therefore be eight (8) years, from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2034 (subject to an annual review, incorporating price re-establishment and KPI performance)." }, "hasOptions": true, "options": { "description": "Any resulting Framework and Call-off Contract shall be deemed to cover any service that can be supplied by the successful Tenderer(s) over the life of the Framework and Call-off Contract within the scope of Engineering Inspection Services." } } ], "documents": [ { "id": "conflictOfInterest", "documentType": "conflictOfInterest", "description": "Not published" }, { "id": "068115-2025", "documentType": "tenderNotice", "noticeType": "UK4", "description": "Tender notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/068115-2025", "datePublished": "2025-10-24T11:21:32+01:00", "format": "text/html" } ], "hasRecurrence": true, "recurrence": { "dates": [ { "startDate": "2033-02-02T23:59:59Z" } ] }, "contractTerms": { "financialTerms": "As per Tender Documentation." }, "riskDetails": "Scope of the service provision - in the event of Providers widening the scope of the service provision falling under engineering inspections (that does not change the overall nature of the contract) in response to legislative changes, YPO reserves the right to update the specification and ask Providers to submit pricing accordingly.
