"description": "Work Orders below PS30,000 for this framework are direct awarded to the first placed Supplier. In the event the first placed Supplier: - is unable to or does not submit a quotation within the timescales in the request, - is unable to complete the works within the timescales required in the Work Order, - has an open red Health & Safety Condition, - is unable to meet a specific Work Order requirement (this requirement is in the overall Framework Scope but more unique or specialist than usual), - does not submit a quotation in accordance with the Framework Price List, or - declines to quote the work is awarded to the second placed Supplier on the relevant framework lot. This then repeats for the third placed Supplier. All Work Orders over PS30,000 for this framework are awarded after a mini competition with all framework suppliers. The Client awards the works to the Supplier submitting the mini competition bid that represents the Most Advantageous Tender. The award criteria at mini-competition stage will be based on pricing, timeframe, and delivery in the similar measures to those in this tender document although these may be refined to the specific requirement."
