II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Cobalt wishes to establish a framework for future schemes valued between 4 500 000 GBP and 9 000 000 GBP, with the intention of reducing bidder workload and allowing a faster route to market. We anticipate 4 schemes of qualifying value to be tendered over the 4-year period of the framework, although this is not guarantee of future quantities. Cobalt also reserves the right to tender outside of the framework if the scheme is a specialist build e.g. extra care, or if it’s deemed that greater value for money can be obtained. Despite no guarantee of schemes being directed via the framework, Cobalt hopes tenderers remain interested due to potential volumes. Tenderers are to be assured that no additional work is required at this stage, you will only need to confirm that you’d like to be considered for the framework (i.e. Lot 2) in section I.8) of the Part A Response Up to the 6 of the highest ranked Tenderers at this tender will be awarded onto the framework. No scheme will be awarded via direct award, only via mini-competition to ensure market testing. The same evaluation criteria of 60 % price and 40 % will apply at mini-competition stage. Framework contractors will not be required to resubmit responses to the qualification criteria to mini-competitions, other than those regarding capacity. The quality part of the evaluation will either be formed by the quality score obtained at this invitation to tender stage, or via new questions at mini-competition, or a combination of both. A new price will always be obtained for each scheme.
