Description
For each Lot, the three highest‑scoring Suppliers will be appointed to the Framework and ranked according to their overall evaluation score, comprising both Quality and Price elements of the ITT response. Suppliers will be ranked as follows: Rank #1 - The Supplier achieving the highest overall score. Rank #2 - The Supplier achieving the second-highest overall score. Rank #3 - The Supplier achieving the third-highest overall score. Only the three highest-scoring Suppliers for each Lot will be appointed to the Framework. It is envisaged that most projects will be allocated following a mini competition. Specifications and designs will be provided to the relevant framework providers to enable them to prepare their tender price. Any interested framework provider must arrange and complete a site survey prior to submission of their tender. Unless otherwise stated, mini competitions will be evaluated on a price-only basis, with a weighting of 100% for price. Following evaluation of the tenders after the deadline date, and once we can confirm that all funding and third-party permissions are in place for the works, we will notify all bidders of the outcome of the mini competition. At our absolute discretion and by exception, projects may also be allocated by direct appointment. Examples of when direct appointment methodology might be used include urgent projects that are time sensitive; low value projects where a mini competition is not economically feasible; and where specific instruction is received from the householder where we are acting as their agent for a privately funded project. Direct appointments will be made to the contractor ranked number one. Where the first-ranked supplier is unable to accept the project, the Council may offer the project to the next highest-ranked supplier. This process may be repeated. Where the householder has requested the appointment of a specific supplier and the Council is acting solely as the householder's agent, the Council may directly appoint the requested supplier, provided that the supplier has confirmed they are available and willing to deliver the works.

Description
In this tendering procedure, the Authority intends to award to the top 3 highest scoring Suppliers for each Lot. In the event that two (2) or more Suppliers achieve the same score (i.e. they are tied), the submission which scores the highest for Q3 will be ranked highest. If this is not a determining factor, then the submission which scores the highest on question Q1 will be ranked highest, and so on through questions Q2 and Q4. In the event that a tie remains after comparison of overall and question-level scores, the Authority will determine the ranking of the tied tenders by reference to Question 3 (Customer Service) only, applying the following approach: The Authority will undertake a structured comparison of the responses to Question 3 submitted by the tied Suppliers, using only the existing evaluation framework and scoring descriptors already published for that question and without introducing any new criteria, weightings, or requirements for further information. The purpose of this comparison is solely to determine whether one response demonstrably better meets the published descriptors for Question 3 as a whole when assessed against the other tied response(s). No re-scoring of other questions will be undertaken, and no scores will be adjusted following this comparison. This comparative assessment forms part of the award methodology and applies equally to all suppliers. Where a ranking cannot be determined following this process then the Applicants will remain tied and all tied Applicants will be admitted to the framework. Where this is the case, the relevant Lot may exceed the maximum of three admitted suppliers. If fewer than 3 Suppliers have responded to this tendering procedure, or if fewer than 3 Suppliers have qualified based on the information in Parts 1, 2 and 3, the Authority reserves the right to proceed with a smaller list provided it is confident that sufficient competition exists to give the prospect of a value for money outcome.
