II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (COCH) and its partner the Carbon and Energy Fund Ltd has established a framework of capable contractors to provide carbon and energy resilience and service improvements to the public sector in the UK. In some cases, this will involve the installation and management of new or upgraded infrastructure, and in others a guaranteed upgrade in services and resilience provided as the contractor feels appropriate. See www.carbonandenergyfund.net for information of how the previous asset based framework has worked in the UK.
Framework bidders will be invited to offer contracting authorities service improvements that include the delivery of guaranteed resilience and efficiency valued in terms of reduced running costs, reduced energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions plus the management of those services. Service contract durations may be 15 to 31 years. The guarantee refers to the bidder taking all the risks and costs relating to the provision of all services including any relevant design, procurement, commissioning, operation, lifecycling and continued guaranteed performance of the installation using the bidders staff, contractors, or in some circumstances those of the Contracting Authority as may be agreed in the contract.
Service or Infrastructure improvements or upgrades may include but not be limited to combined heat and power, boilers (steam LTHW or MTHW), district heating or cooling, heat recovery, chilling, heat pumps, fuel cells, chillers, air handling, controls, solar PV, battery or energy storage, lighting, insulation (roof, pipes, building, cladding or related), glazing, water savings, water abstraction, effluent treatment, waste to energy, pyrolysis, clinical waste destruction or conversion, processing or removal, biomass, biofuel, biogas, grid reinforcement, capacity market, STOR, electrical (HV, MV and LV) improvements (demand reduction, re-profiling, generation, aggregation, co-generation, tri-generation, wind generation, standby generation), private wire, virtual power station, load or power management, gas supplies (natural, anaerobic digestion or biogas, on or attached to the national grid or not) technology to change or improve maintenance or lifecycling arrangements, medical or paramedical, records systems, building management, BMS, maintenance management, preventative maintenance, soft facilities management, electric or hybrid vehicles, vehicle charging, vehicle maintenance, medical equipment charging or improvements, transfer of staff, subcontracts or subcontractors and any related technologies or services that are relevant.
In many cases the selected supplier may be expected to take over existing energy facilities building/ boiler house or plant rooms relevant to the project, sometimes under license and sometimes under a simple lease, for the operational period of the contract. In some cases the contract may include the construction or modification of existing buildings or structures associated with the delivery of services.
Details of the site, service requirements, and the existing facilities will be set out in the memorandum of information for each project, and bidders will be encouraged to attend the site to fully investigate the existing plant plus cost and plan their bids. Bids may be supported by variant bids going beyond any core proposal included in the project documentation, to cover additional operation and maintenance of existing plant, facilities management services and equipment as makes sense.
For each project bidders are encouraged to produce the best bid they can using all the available resources or skills they may possess. It is normal that all bids are in many ways unique and the CEF evaluation methodology will include the way to fairly evaluate different bids and variants.

Section VI: Complementary information
VI.3) Additional information
Eligible users of the framework agreement will be any or all public sector facilities in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland from any or all parts of the public sector including Ministry of Defence, education and further education, local authorities, unitary councils, city councils, and any of the greater city boroughs. In totality, any contracting authorities as defined in regulation 2 (1) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 including all explanatory notes thereto that are or become members of the Carbon and Energy Fund. A full list of eligible users of the proposed framework agreement is available at http://coch-cps.co.uk/our-services/our-frameworks/
The framework is designed to work in parallel with the Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust Dynamic purchasing system (2016/S 156 283825) which is itself being amended to work with a wider range of technologies that can supplement CEF framework bids.
All suppliers appointed to the framework agreement will be invited to participate in a mini-competition for each project. Normally three or four bidders will be taken forward into dialogue after scored interviews. Those shortlisted will be invited to enter into a dialogue, where, after the mini-competition will split into one of 2 routes. Routes refer to the way that suppliers will be asked to bid in the mini-competition, one of which will take multiple suppliers to a fixed price tender, and the other will reduce the suppliers down to one before seeking an investment grade proposal from that single supplier. The contract used for each project is based on the UK NHS standard contract. For this framework agreement, there are 2 forms of the contract, the adapted operating lease version and a new IFRIC 16 compliant version projects may be multi-site and may be a multi-agency (several public sector clients). Funding for projects may come by way of grants, funding by the Participating authority, funding arranged by the CEF, or funding procured by the bidder or any mix of the above.
Mini-competitions will be conducted in accordance with the process detailed in the invitation to tender document. The framework will be available for use by all public bodies in the UK, as listed in the ITT that are or become members of the Carbon and Energy Fund.

VI.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust incorporated a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract was communicated to tenderers. That notification provided full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which was for 10 calendar days, provided time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the framework agreements were concluded. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2006 No 5) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
