·         Cannot respond within the required timescales as detailed in the specification of requirements; or,

·         There are other relevant issues such as conflict of interest.

If any of these criteria are applicable, then the second ranked supplier should be appointed. If the second ranked supplier cannot meet the need (by reason of issues detailed above), the third ranked supplier should be approached and so on.

N.B. Please note that any direct award is at the discretion and risk of the member institution. 

This award of a contract will take place after the institution has discussed its specific requirements with the supplier and agreement has been reached as to timescales, methodology/approach, specific service requirements and key milestones and performance indicators to be met.  The Standard Terms and Conditions of any call-off contract shall be as those stated in the Call-Off Terms and Conditions and only minor points can be amended with the consent of the supplier and the institution such as Payment Terms.  For individual assignments under longer term call-off contracts, instruction will be given and received as per the Specification of Requirements section of the ITT.

 Option Two - Desktop Exercise

 If time is of the essence and institutions are comfortable with the terms of the proposed contract, and these do not require amendment or supplementary conditions then institutions may amend the criterion to reflect their local requirements. This can be done by utilising the Desk Top Calculator provided on HE Contracts.

Once complete, you should place your contract with the highest scoring supplier.

Option Three – Further competition

Institutions wishing to undertake a further competition may do so. A further competition may apply to a selection of equipment, materials or services or may be for the purposes of selecting a single source supplier for a fixed period of time.  All capable supplier(s) appointed must be invited to submit responses to the institution’s further competition tender document.

(This should be done in consultation with UP)

All orders issued to the supplier via direct award MUST reference the Framework reference number LAB1030 AP together with the UOS contract reference number if applicable.

·  Cash savings are calculated at Framework level, based upon the difference between general market list price and the price being offered via the Framework agreement. Additional savings are also possible through further competition and committed aggregated spend for individual institutions

·  Non-Cash savings: use of Framework for a complex procurement. Contract specifications are included in Framework specification.

·  Compliance to all relevant legislation

·  Flexible call-off options

·  Direct control of contract management and supplier reviews at consortia level. All supplier contact details are available via HEC

Provision to manage sustainable impacts via the Net Positives supplier action tool and UN Sustainability Code of Conduct

Dedicated price lists apply for each and every supplier and category area and are available for viewing on the HE Contracts database (HEC). For use in eMarketplace platforms, price lists MUST be reviewed by NEUPC and then in turn accepted by the member institutions when sent by the supplier in order to receive Framework pricing.

Consult UP for pricing lists, or any updates to pricing.

1. Ranked Institutions are required to contract directly with the first ranked Contractor (unless the first ranked Contractor confirms that they do not have capacity to undertake the work; or cannot respond within the required timescales as detailed in the Specification of Requirements. You can contract with the Contractor for appropriate ad hoc requirements and for longer term arrangements.  There is no restriction on the length of a call off as long as it is reasonable. Please ensure you choose the correct supplier from FMS using their supplier ID as provided. Institutions will determine the correct lot to use when placing a Call-off Contract from the Framework Agreement by assessing their requirement against the available lot(s).
2. Mini-Competition Institutions wishing to undertake a mini competition within a particular lot may do so. All the Contractor(s) appointed to the relevant lot must be invited to submit responses to the Institution’s mini-competition tender document.
3. Desktop Evaluation The original Framework Agreement evaluation scores for technical criteria must be applied. Award Criteria and Sub-criteria weightings may be altered for both Technical and Commercial percentages in line with the Institution’s requirement, but these should be reasonable and justifiable. Both Technical and Commercial sub criteria must be used, and the overall weighting must still be equal to 100%. Framework Agreement Commercial pricing structure is not deemed to be a direct match to the Institution’s requirements then the institution may seek revised pricing. All Contractors appointed to the relevant lot must be contacted for specific pricing. Or Where a specific aspect of the technical or commercial evaluation sub criteria are deemed of significant importance to an Institutions requirement then the Institution may select the successful Contractor based on the ranking of the Framework Agreement Contractors in that specific area. If more than one criteria are of high importance, then the relevant scores from the Framework Agreement will be added together and compared to ascertain the correct Contractor to appoint.

   All orders issued to the supplier via direct award MUST reference the Framework reference number LAB1030 AP together with the UOS contract reference number if applicable.
