Qualitative/Award questions
Up to 12 Contractors will be accepted on to this Framework Agreement.
The qualitative/ award questions and their relative weightings are detailed in Volume 1 of the Framework Agreement in Appendix B: Framework Selection and Award Procedure.
The questions relate to methodology for NEC3, CDM, minimising risk of damage to underground utilities and for community benefits and workforce matters/ fair working practices.
Bidder's answers to the qualitative questions and supporting evidence submitted at tender stage will be assessed against the scoring key below. The Contractors' scores will be aggregated to form a Qualitative score which will account for 20 % of the overall Total Tender score.
A bidder will be disqualified if they score 0 for any qualitative question or if they fall below a minimum qualitative score of 50 % of the maximum possible Qualitative Score. The definition of maximum possible Qualitative Score being when all of the qualitative questions for this Framework Agreement are rated as excellent.
Qualitative Questions Scoring Key:
0 — Unacceptable. Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate ability to meet the requirement.
1 — Poor. Response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled.
2 — Acceptable. Response is relevant and acceptable. The response addresses a broad understanding of the requirement but may lack details on how the requirement will be fulfilled in certain areas.
3 — Good. Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding and provides details on how the requirement will be fulfilled.
4 — Excellent. Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirement and provides details of how this will be met in full.
The Specification for Highway Works (SHW) will apply to all Work Packages issued through this Framework Agreement. Not all of the National Highway Sector Schemes (NHSS) from Appendix A of the SHW will be mandatory. Appendix 0/2 of Volume 2 of the Framework Agreement stipulates the NHSS schemes that are mandatory and those that are not. Those listed as mandatory (or equivalents) will apply to all businesses undertaking any of these services. If your business subcontracts the work, you do not have to be registered but any subcontractor you use must be.
The value of the framework is estimated as being between 2 000 000 and 6 000 000 over the period of 4 years. This is based on estimated annual spend between 500 000 and 1 500 000.
