                "description": "It is intended that Manchester City Council with award this framework to up to 3 Providers per lot. However, the Council reserves the right to award more or less Providers depending on the outcome of this tender exercise. Rules of the Framework: This framework will allow Manchester City Council to call off contracts either by further competition or Direct Award without reopening competition. Further Competition (mini competition): When the framework agreement does not include all the terms governing the provision of the works, services and supplies concerned, the contracting authority must organise a further competition between the providers which are party to the framework agreement. It is intended that further competitions will be used when: * The value of the contract is PS50,000 or more * There is sufficient time to run a competitive procedure that it would not be prejudicial to the council's interests. * Where further competition is the chosen route, all providers awarded under the framework will be invited to participate, unless it is clear that particular firms cannot meet the specific needs. The tender/quotation document will describe the requirement and tell bidders the basis on which evaluation of offers will be made (e.g., price, product quality, delivery period etc., together with an indication of the relative importance of these criteria). The Evaluation Criteria Price, Quality, 20% Social Value and 10% Environment will remain unchanged in evaluating further competition. The weightings for Price and Quality criteria may differ to the original tender. Criteria used for a further competition may differ from the award criteria used to set up the framework if they are related to (i.e. derive from) the original award criteria. Bidders will be allowed sufficient time to prepare and submit their quotations. Prices submitted during a further competition exercise must not exceed the relevant rates detailed in the Pricing Schedule submitted at the tender stage. All documentation issued for further competition must refer to Manchester's Framework P-0549 in the invitation to quote*. Direct award without re-opening competition: If the framework agreement sets out all the terms governing the provision of the works, services and/or supplies concerned and all the objective conditions that are required to make a decision for award of the specific contract, then awarding the contract without re-opening competition amongst the parties to the framework agreement may be used. In this instance, the choice of provider must be based on the objective criteria laid out in the procurement documentation. It is intended that direct awards will be available when: * The value of the contract is under PS50,000 * The time needed to run a further competition exercise would be prejudicial to the Council's interests. * Where direct award is the chosen route, the highest-ranking organisation from this tender exercise will be asked to confirm their availability to carry out the works. If the highest-ranking organisation is not available, the same process will be carried out with the next highest-ranking organisation. (This will continue until a suitable award is made). For any direct award, the Pricing Schedule submitted at the tender stage will be used to price the works required."
