YORbuild Major Works 2 has four different call-off methods that balance quality against cost.

1. Direct selection (rotation or 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. The client selected process allows selection of a contractor based on the provision of a brief report that satisfies the objective criteria of the framework and a client’s internal governance. A tender price is then developed with the single framework contractor and any subsequent call-off contracts are 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. The framework has been set up to permit variance in the balance of price/quality assessments, which can range between 20/80 and 80/20.

3. Price/quality mini competition (single stage)

All framework contractors in a lot submit competitive quotations for the award of a call-off contract by means of a price and quality competition. The framework has been set up to permit variance in the balance of price/quality assessments, which can range between 30/70 and 90/10.

4. Price-only mini competition (single stage)

All framework contractors in a lot submit competitive quotations for the award of a call-off contract by means of a price competition only.
