The Most Advantageous Tender (\"MAT\") will be identified by the process detailed below:\nStage 1 - Completeness and Compliance Checks:\nSubmitted Tenders will initially be checked for compliance with the instructions provided in 01) Framework Invitation to Tender document including confirmation that the documents have been completed fully and correctly and have been signed as requested. Where a Tender Submission is received from a Tenderer who is not registered on the Central Digital Platform and/or who has not submitted up-to-date core supplier information on the Central Digital Platform, their submission will be rejected from the tender process and no further evaluation will be undertaken.\nStage 2 - Exclusion Grounds:\nThe Council will confirm that neither the Supplier or any Connected Persons, Associated Persons or proposed sub-contractors are listed on the Cabinet Office Debarment List. To the extent that any such entities are listed on the Debarment List, the Council will consider whether to exclude the Supplier from participating in the procurement process. In addition, the Council will consider whether any Supplier or Connected Persons, Associated Persons relied on to meet the Conditions of Participation, or proposed sub-contractors are Excluded or Excludable Suppliers, providing the Supplier reasonable opportunity to make representations and provide evidence as is proportionate to the circumstances.\nStage 3 - Conditions of Participation:\nThe suitability of Suppliers will be assessed in accordance with the specified Conditions of Participation contained within the Procurement Specific Questionnaire. This will be marked purely on a pass or fail basis to ensure that the Supplier is able to meet the Council\u0027s minimum requirements. Tenderers who do not indicate that they meet the Council\u0027s minimum Conditions of Participation may be excluded from the process at this stage.\nStage 4 - Quality and Price Assessment:\nAll submitted Tenders which have not been rejected during the previous stages will be assessed to identify the Most Advantageous Tender(s). The Council will determine the Most Advantageous Tender(s) by applying the Award Criteria which is more fully described in these Tender Documents. The basis of the Council\u0027s Award Criteria will be based on 60% Quality and 40% Price. The final scores will be added together to produce a total score. Suppliers will be ranked in accordance with that score and the top 5 ranked Suppliers will be identified (subject to due diligence checks).\nStage 5 - Due Diligence Checks:\nA due diligence process will be undertaken against the responses to the Procurement Specific Questionnaire of the top five (5) ranked Suppliers who submitted the Most Advantageous Tenders, and any required certification and evidence will be requested. As part of the due diligence process, the Council reserves the right to use other sources of information alongside those provided as part of the Tender to determine the financial stability of the top scoring Tenderer, namely a financial assessment or credit check.\nThe Assessment Panel:\nAll Tenders will be assessed by an Assessment Panel of the Council\u0027s choosing, and will comprise of officers from the Council, who will assess each of the Tenders in line with the specified Assessment Criteria.\nAward and de-briefing:\nOnce the due diligence process has been successfully completed, the Council may then decide to award a position on the Framework on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender. Positions awarded pursuant to different Lots will be awarded by way of separate Agreements. The top five ranked Suppliers, based on the initial quality/price evaluation, may be awarded a position under each Lot. Where more than one Tender is received, the Council will notify all Tenderers in writing of its decision. The Council will inform all unsuccessful Tenderers of their score for each criteria and an explanation as to why each score was awarded by reference to relevant information in their tender. The Council will also provide the identity of the successful Tenderer(s), the successful Tenderer(s\u0027) score for each criteria, and an explanation as to why each of the scores was awarded for the lowest scoring successful Tender. The Council will inform all successful Tenderers of their ranked position on the relevant Lot(s) of the Framework and the assessment information relevant to their own Tender. For the avoidance of doubt, award of the Framework is subject to the formal approval process of the Council.  Until all necessary approvals are obtained and the standstill period completed, no Framework will be entered into."

The highest ranked Supplier may be offered each Contract on the basis of these rankings (the highest ranked Contractor/ Supplier may be selected to perform a specific Contract).\nIf the Contractor/ Supplier who was ranked highest is not able to undertake the Contract, the Council may offer the Contract to the next ranked Contractor/ Supplier. The Council may repeat this process until the Contract is fulfilled or there are no further organisations on the Framework Lot qualified to fulfil it.\nCall Off Method 2 - Re-opening of competition amongst all Contractor\u0027s/ Suppliers on the Framework:\nContractor/ Suppliers awarded a position on the Framework Agreement may be invited, where applicable, by the Council to participate in a Further Competition by way of an Invitation to Tender through the Council\u0027s electronic procurement website, YORtender.\nThis procedure is anticipated to be used where:\n\u2022 the requirements of the specific Contract differ from the requirements as detailed in the Framework Documentation\n\u2022 submitted Framework rates cannot be accurately assigned to the specific Contract\n\u2022 the specific Contract is estimated to be higher than \u00a350,000.00 for Loft Insulation Services or \u00a3100,000.00 for Cavity Wall Insulation Services.\nWhere Parties to the Framework Agreement are invited to supplement their initial Tender to compete under a Further Competition from this Framework, the evaluation of these Tenders will be based on a ranged Price, Quality and/or Social Value split which will be formulated more precisely and communicated in the published Invitation to Tender document. This range allows Award Criteria percentages to be determined appropriately in accordance with the complexity of each specific scheme.\nIn the event that the Contract is estimated to be higher than a value of \u00a3100,000.00 (one hundred thousand pounds), in line with the Council\u0027s Social Value Policy, the Council reserve the right to include Social Value as part of the award criteria.\nProvided that the Tender is submitted fully in accordance with the requirements set out within the Council\u0027s Specification and the additional Tender Documentation, the Contract will be awarded on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender based on Quality, Price and/or Social Value\nQuality: 0% - 90%\nPrice: 10% - 100%\nSocial Value: 0% - 10%\nFor the avoidance of any doubt, one or more of the above Award Criteria may be applied to any Further Competition from this Framework.\nNotwithstanding the fact that the Council has followed the procedure set out above for competed Works, the Council may cancel, postpone, delay or end the procedure without placing an Order for Works or awarding any Contract. Nothing in this Framework Agreement shall oblige the Council to place any Order for Works.\nEvaluation of the further competition tender response:\nTenderers will have their Pricing Schedule and/or their Quality Method Statements (and where applicable, any Social Value proposals) evaluated using the Award Criteria and the Evaluation Model set out within the Further Competition Document.\nThe Quality and Pricing information provided and requested in the Further Competition documentation will be formulated more precisely for each Specific Contract.\nRe-assessment of minimum selection criteria:\nPrior to the award of any Specific Contract, the Council reserves the right to re-assess the Contractor/ Supplier to confirm that the Contractor/ Supplier still meets the Council\u0027s minimum selection criteria at the time of the proposed award.\nAssessment of current capacity:\nPrior to the award of any Specific Contract, the Council reserves the right to assess the existing workload of the Contractor/ Supplier to confirm that the Contractor/ Supplier has the necessary capacity to undertake the new Contract alongside any current commitments.",
