Description
This Framework Agreement establishes the terms under which contracting authorities may award call‑off contracts for high value construction works under the North West Construction Hub (NWCH) High Value Construction Framework 2027-2031. The Framework is a multi‑supplier, multi‑lot framework, with suppliers appointed to individual lots corresponding to defined value bands and scopes. No guarantee is given as to the value or volume of work to be awarded under the Framework. Award of call‑off contracts Call‑off contracts may be awarded by: Direct award, where the Framework terms objectively determine the supplier and pricing for the requirement; or Further competition (mini‑competition) among all Framework Suppliers appointed to the relevant lot and capable of delivering the requirement. The selection of award method will be determined by the contracting authority having regard to the nature, complexity and value of the requirement. Pricing mechanism Pricing under the Framework is based on: Fixed Framework rates and percentage fees, including pre‑construction, design, contractor staff, preliminaries and overheads, which are established at Framework award and remain fixed for the duration of the Framework. These Framework rates form the basis for pricing all call‑off contracts. Where a mini‑competition is undertaken, suppliers may be required to submit project‑specific pricing, proposals or efficiencies based on the fixed Framework rates. Selection and evaluation at call‑off Only suppliers appointed to the relevant lot may be invited to participate in a call‑off award process. Call‑off tenders will be evaluated in accordance with the award criteria specified in the call‑off documentation, which may include price and relevant qualitative criteria such as quality, programme, social value and sustainability, as appropriate to the individual project. Call‑off contracts will be awarded to the supplier submitting the most economically advantageous tender in accordance with the stated criteria. General All call‑off contracts are subject to the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement and applicable schedules. Contracting authorities reserve the right not to award a call‑off contract following a further competition.

Award Criteria Details
Tenderers may submit a Tender for a single Lot, multiple Lots, or all Lots. Each Lot constitutes a separate competition and will be evaluated independently in accordance with the published evaluation criteria. It is anticipated that a maximum of eight suppliers are to be appointed to each Lot 1 and Lot 2, and a maximum of six suppliers are to be appointed to Lot 3. A single Tenderer may only be awarded a place on two adjacent Lots under this Framework Agreement. This means Tenderers bidding for more than one Lot can either be appointed to Lot 1 and Lot 2 OR Lot 2 and Lot 3 (i.e. NOT Lot 1 and Lot 3). Tenderers must mark their preference as instructed in the ITT.
