1. Direct selection (Rotation and Client Selected)
A framework contractor is directly selected using either the Rotation or Client Selected process from the respective lot of the framework without competition. Rotation allows selection of the next contractor on the list based upon qualitative criteria. The Client Selected process allows selection of a contractor based on the provision of a report that satisfies the requirements of the framework and a Clients internal governance. A tender price is then developed with the single framework contractor and any subsequent call-off contract is awarded.
2. Price/quality mini competition (two stage)
All framework contractors in a lot submit proposals that are assessed against the stage 1 scoring criteria to select a single winning proposal. A tender is subsequently developed with the selected framework contractor and any subsequent call-off contract is awarded.
