"description": "1. This Open Framework Invitation to tender is for Emergency Response Vehicles including Pumping Appliances, Aerial Appliances, Special Vehicles and Vehicle Disposal. 2. The NFCC ERV Framework period shall be 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2034, subject to more than one Supplier being appointed to each Framework in the scheme of Frameworks. 3. The estimated value of this Open Framework is PS900,000,000 excluding VAT. 4. A Framework is a contract between the Authority (in this case Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority) and one or more suppliers that provides for the future award of contracts by a Contracting Authority to the Supplier or Suppliers. 5. Opening and operation of the Framework: 5.1 The Authority intends to re-open the Framework at the following points: * Once during the period of 3 years from award of the first Framework under this scheme, and * Within a period of 2 years beginning on the award of the second Framework scheme. 5.2 The Authority reserves the right to adjust the indicative reopening schedule in response to operational requirements. Any changes will be communicated with sufficient notice via Find a Tender Service and to existing suppliers. 5.3 The final Framework will expire at the end of period of 8 years beginning with the Framework Commencement Date (subject to more than one Supplier being Appointed to each Framework in the scheme). 5.4 There will be no limit on the number of Suppliers that can be party to each of the Frameworks in the scheme. 5.5 For Lot 4 only, the Supplier must be awarded on one of the other lots to be able to be awarded on lot 4. 5.6 Whenever the Framework is re-opened, the award of that new Framework will effectively close the existing agreement and create a new Framework. Any processes for the award of a Call-Off contract under the expired Framework that have already commenced can continue following the expiry of that Framework. 5.7 At the point of re-opening the Framework, supplier be notified of the re-opening by publication on Find a Tender Service. Existing framework suppliers may also be directly contacted and invited to apply to join the new Framework. 5.8 During the re-opening, supplier who are party to the Framework in existence immediately prior to the next Framework to be awarded (Existing Suppliers) will be required to confirm whether they wish to be considered to join the new Framework in the scheme of frameworks, and, if they do specify whether they wish to be considered by reference to either: 5.8.1 The fact that the Existing Supplier is party to the Framework in existence immediately prior to the next Framework to be awarded under the scheme. If an Existing Supplier chooses this option the earlier tender will not be re-assessed and the supplier will simply remain on the Framework; or 5.8.2 A tender relating to an earlier award under the scheme. If an Existing Supplier chooses this option the earlier tender will be re-assessed. There is no guarantee of re-appointment to the Framework; or 5.8.3 A new tender submitted in relation to the current award. If an Existing Supplier chooses this option the new tender will be assessed. There is no guarantee of re-appointment to the Framework. 5.9 Existing Supplier can choose not to join the new Framework. 5.10 All suppliers, whether new or existing, will be subject to the same exclusion checks and compliance requirement, and all Existing Suppliers will be re-assessed against mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds at each re-opening. 5.11 Full instructions will be provided at the point of re-opening the Framework. 5.12 In the event that only one supplier is appointed to any Framework in the scheme of Framework during the Open Framework period than the maximum term of the Framework, and the Open Framework, will be 4 years from the date on which the single supplier Framework is awarded. 6. How prices are determined: Prices are determined on a competitive basis during the Further Competition for each project. 7. Selection process for award of contracts: Framework Suppliers will be selected based on the assessment using the criteria set out in the Invitation to Tender. 8. Selection criteria for Further Competitions: Assessment criteria for Further Competitions for call-off contracts will be set by the Contracting Authority, but will not fundamentally alter, the criteria specified below. The Contracting Authority user will be able to decide what percentage of marks it wants to allocate to each of the assessment criteria, within the maximum and minimum amounts set out: For Lot 1 to 3c only: * Price - 0 to 100% * Technical Merit and Quality - 0 to 100% * Customer Support - 0 to 100% * Delivery - 0 to 100% * Social Value - 0 to 100% * Organisation - 0 to 100% For Lot 4 only: * Price - 0 to 100% * Vehicle Disposal - 0 to 100% All assessment criteria must total 100%. The scoring methodology is included within the Further Competition Invitation to Tender."
