"description": "A Contracting Authority may award through the Framework by either an Award Without Competition or through a competitive selection process. Award Without Competition A Contracting Authority can make an Award Without Competition where it identifies the Supplier offering the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) against its specific requirements. The Contracting Authority shall undertake its own due diligence and assess Suppliers using the Framework pricing schedule, taking into account factors such as: * Cost per service and required volumes; * Additional charges; * Volume discounts; * Optional services required; and * The Supplier's ability to deliver all required services. The MAT can be determined using the Framework Weighted Value for Money Index, incorporating Framework non-cost scores and Contracting Authority-specific pricing. Please see the Procurement documents for more information. Competitive Selection Process For a Competitive Selection Process, all Suppliers appointed to the relevant Lot or Sub-Lot shall be invited to submit sealed bids via the Contracting Authority's chosen e-tendering system. Contracting Authorities are able to set their own conditions of participation and mandatory requirements to meet their own organisational requirements. Contracting Authorities can evaluate bids against Cost, Quality and Social Value/Sustainability criteria, provided the total weighting equals 100%. YPO recommends weightings of 10%-80% for Cost, 10%-80% for Quality and 10%-30% for Social Value/Sustainability. Customers can amend weightings to suit their own needs at their own risk within the range permitted. Criteria may either be re-opened and evaluated at call-off stage or scores from Framework establishment may be utilised. Where Contracting Authorities wish to vary award criteria weightings, YPO recommends that at least two criterions are re-opened. Please see the procurement documents for more information. The Contracting Authority shall define its requirements and evaluation methodology within the call-off documentation. Requirements may include delivery arrangements, timescales, budgets, invoicing and payment profiles, optional services, refreshed pricing and Social Value commitments."
