"description": "The Council intends to offer the top 10 scoring tenders from each Lot (of the ITT responses) a position on the Framework. In the event that two or more submission receive the same scores (i.e. they are tied), the submission which scores highest for Q1 will be ranked highest. If this is not a determining factor, then the submission which scores highest on Q2 will be ranked highest and so on to the extent necessary through questions Q3 and Q4. For the framework, the successful contractors will be ranked, with the contractor scoring the highest (quality + financial scores) being first. The top ranked contractor will be offered packages of work, where the provider does not have the capability and capacity, or is suspended or removed from the framework this work will be offered to the second ranked contractor and so on. The Supplier acknowledges that, in entering into this Framework Agreement, no form of exclusivity or volume guarantee has been granted by the Authority for the Services and that the Authority is at all times entitled to enter into other contract and arrangements with other suppliers for the provision of any or all services which are the same as or similar to the Services. The Supplier shall submit a fixed price (even if that price is nil) for each item of the lot they are bidding for as set out in the Pricing Schedule(s) which shall remain fixed for the duration of the Framework."
