The framework will use a mixture of direct award and mini competition when awarding individual contracts to suppliers throughout the 4-year period. Direct Award The information submitted by suppliers as part of their bid will be used to identify the most suitable supplier to address a specific need as and when a requirement arises throughout the framework duration. Individual pieces of work will be directly awarded to a supplier by the Commission by adopting the following process: 1. Identifying the need/requirement; and 2. Assessing all of the information provided by suppliers in their bid submission (method statement, risk assessment, costs and availability). Tenderers are asked to provide as much relevant information as possible in their bid submissions to enable a thorough assessment to be carried out during these times. Mini Competition Where the details provided by suppliers in their bid submissions are not specific enough for the Commission to be able to identify the most suitable supplier from carrying out the above process, or a more complex requirement arises, a mini-competition will be run. All suppliers within the particular Lot will be invited to participate in this exercise. Proposals submitted by suppliers in these instances will be evaluated using the criteria outlined in Section 10 of the specification."
