STRUCTURE

3 system suppliers covering three (3) Contract Notices:
• England,
• Wales
• Scotland
The system supplier specifies the product choice to the client, with delivery of the project through their network of approved contractors.
It is at the discretion of the system supplier regarding the number of Approved Contractors per regional lot, but evaluation scoring will be designed to encourage them are:
• sufficient in number to ensure the client can run a mini competition with three bids in any one of the 20 NUTS areas, and
• sufficient in variety to support government policies and directives such as the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 and the 2014 Welsh government publication "Community Benefits - Delivering Maximum Value for the Welsh Pound"; and
• sufficient in scalability to support both large and small projects

CALL OFF PROCEDURES

Clients will have two option:-

• to direct award system suppliers awarded to the framework through the usual options, i.e. Vfm, Price, Quality; and to enable clients to comply with existing systems already in situ
o using this option, once the supplier has been selected, a mini competition can be arranged with any three of the system supplier's approved contractors named on the contract notice, so the client is assured a competitive installation cost; or

• to hold a mini competition between the system suppliers
o to facilitate this - and to avoid conflict of interest - the client must first review the list of approved contractors of each system supplier and, if the same approved contractor is named on two system supplier lists, the client nominates which system supplier the approved contractor is assigned to support for that specific call off project;
o The system supplier then selects which approved contractor they wish to work with from those available to them, and submits their bid
o In this way, the client gets three fully costed and competing bids

In each case
• The approved contractor will sign the contract with the client, and be responsible for paying the levy the LHC; and
• The system supplier will oversees the work of the contractor, and is responsible for underwriting the product guarantee.
