1. Direct selection (rotation)

A framework contractor is directly selected using the direct selection (rotation) process from the respective lot of the framework without competition and based upon qualitative criteria. A tender is then developed with the selected 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. Note that 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. Note that 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.
