Framework operation description
A single Supplier will (subject to the below and terms of the Framework Agreement) be
appointed to provide the Services exclusively to each Lot area.
There is no restriction on the number of Lots that a Supplier can tender for.
In order to provide resilience and to ensure that a greater number of Economic Operators
have an opportunity to be appointed to the Framework Agreement, a single Supplier will
(subject to the relaxation noted below) only be awarded a maximum of 1 of the 3 Lots.
In the event that an insufficient number of Economic Operators are eligible to be awarded
a Lot of the Framework Agreement and the Contracting Authorities are therefore unable
to award each of the 3 Lots (either at the point at which the Framework Agreement is
awarded or at any stage during the term of the Framework Agreement), then:
a) the Contracting Authorities may relax the restriction on the number of Lots
awarded to one Supplier from 1 Lot to 2 Lots; and
b) In the event that, after applying the approach set out at (a) above, there is still an
insufficient number of Suppliers eligible to be award a Lot of the Framework
Agreement, then the Contracting Authorities may further relax the restriction on
the number of Lots that can be awarded to one Supplier from 2 Lots to 3 Lots.
The Contracting Authorities will award the Framework Lots in sequence, with the Lot 1
being awarded first, then Lot 2 and then Lot 3. For example, if a Supplier is awarded Lot
1 and it has the highest combined quality/social value/price score in Lot 2 and the highest
quality/price score in Lot 3, it will not be eligible for Lot 2 or Lot 3 unless the Contracting
Authorities determine that the relaxation set out at (a) and/or (b) above needs to be
applied. Suppliers should also note that they will only be eligible for award of a Lot where
they have submitted a tender for that particular Lot.

Other information
Description of risks to contract performance
The primary risk relates to uncertainty of
demand and workload, as the notice makes
clear that no business is guaranteed under the
framework and there is no assurance that any
call offs will be awarded creating a foreseeable
risk of variability in workload, timing, and
mobilisation requirements. This may necessitate
modifications to programme delivery or service
arrangements to respond to fluctuating demand.
The scope of services spans multiple
professional disciplines, including quantity
surveying, design, engineering, and
sustainability services, introducing a foreseeable
risk associated with coordination and integration
of services. Where integration challenges arise,
modifications to delivery approach or scope may
be required to ensure effective performance.
Finally, the requirement to deliver minor works
within live operational college environments
creates foreseeable constraints relating to
access, phasing, and minimising disruption.
These constraints may necessitate changes to
programme, sequencing, or delivery
methodology during contract execution.
