Further Competition. Prior to conducting the further competition we advise that you consider the following questions: Do you need to form a project team? If so, who is the most appropriate person to lead it? Have you formed a stakeholder group to formulate requirements? Have you identified specific resource to support the various stages of the project including data gathering, drafting of the statement of requirements and bid evaluation? Who will approve the award once proposals have been evaluated? Further competition criteria weightings are set by the framework agreement. Procurement regulations require that you adhere to weighting levels within these tolerances. If you set weightings outside of these levels you are at risk of a challenge to your procurement. Quality – 60% to 80% Price – 20% to 40% There are a number of options available to you when issuing further competition documents. You can use our online eSourcing suite or alternatively your own departmental standard tender process. You are also able to run a further competition as an Electronic Reverse Auction. If you are interested in running an eAuction, please register your interest with our eAuction team here: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx/i-am-a-buyer/run-further-competition/register Make your award decision by applying the criteria weightings to your evaluation. Rank the participating Suppliers in a list compiled by their total score achieved. Award the contract to the Supplier that ranks first within the evaluation using the criteria and associated weightings. You should notify all participating Suppliers of the outcome, once you have identified a successful Supplier. It is best practice to give all participating Suppliers feedback on the reasons why they were unsuccessful or successful and areas where they could improve for future reference. While this is not mandatory under the regulations, standard best practice is to observe a ten working days standstill period in between making your award decision (Intention to Award) and actually signing a contract. This is also known as an Alcatel period. Place your order with the successful Supplier using Order Form and Call Off Contract. The Order Form and Call Off Contract should be populated and exchanged with the successful Service Provider and signed by both parties to the contract. Population of the Order Form and Call Off Contract involves the inclusion of the service requirements, and details of the pricing/charging structure.
Further Competition. Any Member awarding a Call-Off Contract under this Agreement through a Further Competition shall:
Further Competition. Customers who have significant volume or more complex requirements may further compete their requirements amongst the framework suppliers to determine which supplier will provide best value for their organisation. If you decide to carry out a further competition remember that CCS has already carried out a procurement exercise in compliance with all public procurement regulations to appoint suppliers to this agreement. You will need to prepare further competition documentation including an ITT (Invitation to Tender), a timetable for your competition, your specification/statement of requirements and the evaluation criteria you will use to evaluate bids (see evaluation criteria below). If you include a draft Order Form, completed as far as possible, this will help save time in getting your order placed with the successful supplier at the end of the further competition process. Ensure you allow suppliers sufficient time to prepare and submit their bids, and to encourage maximum supplier response only ask for information that is relevant to your requirement. During your bid evaluation, you must treat all suppliers equally and fairly and it is also vital that you evaluate the bids in the same way you stipulated in the further competition documentation. Once you have identified which bid was the most economically advantageous tender you must tell all the suppliers of the outcome of the further competition. You can place your order with the successful supplier by finalising and placing the completed order form. Further competition documentation should not duplicate what is in the standard T&Cs and should only cover any enhancements to these. Additional vehicle discounts will only be achieved on vehicle volumes as current framework discounts are already extremely competitive. Further competition evaluation criteria: Quality - 0% to 100% Price - 0% to 100% When running a further competition, you are able to utilise the CCS eSourcing tool. This is a free online procurement tool to help you manage your further competitions, creating a clear audit trail, and supporting the delivery of the further competition in line with EU regulations. If you wish to find out more about the system, its capabilities, and the benefits of using this, please contact the CCS eEnablement team at: xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx As with Direct Award, following a further competition once you are ready to order, you should use Framework Schedule 6 - Order Form and Call Off Schedules or the ...
