        "description": "Lots 1 and 2 - Direct Award Procedure\nUsed when Rogue Items are \u226420% of the estimated works value, or in emergency situations, Supplier\u0027s are ranked based on an assessment price comprising:\n1.\tSchedule of Rates - used to determine the price for elements of the proposed works by identifying applicable items and quantities, and applying the rates from the Supplier\u0027s schedule of rates.\n2.\tRogue Items - based on the Client\u0027s Representative estimated value of Rogue Items, adjusted by each Supplier\u0027s Contract Data Part Two fee percentage.\n3.\tEstimated Value of Compensation Events Post-Contract Date - a standard value (typically 10-20% of the estimated works value) is applied, incorporating fixed proportions for People, Equipment, and Materials, along with assumed total people hours and their fixed percentage distribution. This is then applied equally and adjusted using each Supplier\u0027s Contract Data Part Two rates and percentages.\nThe full methodology and weightings are detailed in Annex 05, Volume 02. The Supplier with the lowest assessment price who confirms ability to fulfil the Work Order is selected.\n________________________________________\nLots 1 and 2 - Mini-Competition Procedure\nUsed when Rogue Items are \u003e20% of the estimated works value. Suppliers submit quotations based on:\n\u2022\tNEC4 Main Option A - Priced contract with activity schedule.\n\u2022\tNEC4 Main Option B - Priced contract with bill of quantities with priced Rogue Items.\nQuotations are evaluated on price only, using a similar assessment methodology as direct awards excluding item 2 for Option B and excluding items 1 and 2 for Option A.\n________________________________________\nLots 3, 4 and 5 - Mini-Competition Procedure\nDepending on scheme specific risks, quotations may be evaluated on either a price only or price and quality basis. Price submissions follow NEC4 Main Option A or B as above (excluding Rogue Items).\nA quality assessment is required where risks are significant (e.g. contaminated land, ecological sensitivity, technical complexity, multiparty collaboration). Quality is weighted 20-30% of the total evaluation. Suppliers respond to tailored quality questions set out in the RFQ.\nPrice Only Evaluation\n\u2022\tAssessment price is calculated using the total of the Prices from the activity schedule or bill of quantities and the Estimated Value of Compensation Events Post-Contract Date as outlined above.\n\u2022\tSuppliers are ranked by lowest assessment price.\nThe full methodology is detailed in Annex 05, Volume 02.\nPrice and Quality Evaluation\n\u2022\tPrice Score: As above, but instead of suppliers being ranked by lowest assessment price, the Inverse Proportionality Method is used as outlined in the tender documents, with scores multiplied by the price weighting.\n\u2022\tQuality Score: Responses are scored using a 0-5 matrix. Definitions range from Very Poor (0) to Excellent (5). A moderation process ensures a single consensus score per question. If consensus cannot be reached, the majority score is used.\nEach consensus score is:\no\tDivided by 5 to get a factored score.\no\tMultiplied by the question weighting to get a weighted score.\no\tAll weighted scores are summed to give the final quality score.\n\u2022\tFinal Evaluation Score: Weighted price and quality scores are combined to produce a final score out of 100. Suppliers are ranked accordingly.\n________________________________________\nLot 6 - Direct Award Procedure\nUsed when the estimated works value is less than \u00a3100k, or in emergency situations. \nWork orders will be administered under NEC4 Main Option E, suppliers are appointed on a \"taxi rank\" system basis. \n________________________________________\nLot 6 - Mini-Competition Procedure\nUsed when the estimated works value is more than \u00a3100k.\nWork orders will be administered under NEC4 Main Option C.\nAssessment Price - Calculated using:\n\u2022\tThe total of the Prices from each Supplier\u0027s fully priced Activity Schedule, plus\n\u2022\tThe Estimated Value of Compensation Events Post-Contract Date - a standard value (typically 10-20% of the total of the Prices) is applied, along with a standard percentage for staff rates (typically 10-30% of the estimated Compensation Events), assumed percentages for time spent on the Contract, and average rates. These are applied equally and adjusted using each Supplier\u0027s Contract Data Part Two rates and percentages.\n\u2022\tSuppliers are ranked by lowest assessment price.\nThe full methodology is detailed in Annex 05, Volume A. The Supplier with the lowest assessment price who confirms ability to fulfil the Work Order is selected.\n________________________________________",
