Call-off contracts will be awarded either: * through further competition between all appointed Framework suppliers within a Lot; or * via award directly to a supplier on a proportional allocation basis For each call-off, Thames Water Utilities Limited will issue a call-off tender pack setting out: * the initial scope of works, * project-specific requirements and constraints, * pricing approach and assumptions, and * evaluation criteria. Tenderers will be required to submit both a technical and commercial proposal. Contracts will be awarded to the tenderer submitting the most advantageous tender in accordance with the criteria set out in the call-off documentation. Call-off contracts will be let using the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short form Contract (ECSC) for Lot 1 and, NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) Option B (priced contract with a bill of materials) or Option D (Target Costs contract with a bill of materials). Pricing mechanism At the framework award stage (ITN), tenderers will be required to submit a Framework Schedule of Rates, setting out their proposed: * labour rates, * plant and equipment rates, * daywork rates, and * fees These rates will form the baseline pricing structure for all future call-off contracts under the Framework. At call-off stage the rates agreed within the framework contract will form the maximum rates permissible for call off contracts under the framework.
