F The lot descriptions, Rate Card and Award Support Tool should be used to identify suitable suppliers. The Award Support Tool can help buyers to match the type of staff needed with the suppliers offering them. Suppliers can then be ranked according to their offers and value for money. CCS should be emailed for a copy of the tool.

In order to direct award, buyers need to identify suitable suppliers by using the tool, rank the suppliers by using the direct award criteria and then award a contract by using the simplified Short Order Form.

Further competition

There is also the option for further competition, which should be used if you want to make adjustments to the specification or terms. Using further competition may also achieve better value for money. It is the recommended route when arranging a project through output-based delivery. It is not recommended for single or small groups of workers. Suppliers may choose not to take part in competitions for smaller requirements.

In order to run a further competition, buyers need to identify which suppliers can meet their needs and then invite all capable suppliers to bid. Further competition documents should then be sent to all capable suppliers, ensuring there is enough time for suppliers to return their tenders. New award criteria cannot be introduced, but changes can be made to the original award criteria.

Returned tenders can then be evaluated against the reward criteria. Evaluation plans and weightings can be adjusted within the range limits to reflect individual circumstances and requirements.

Once this process has been completed, the supplier with the highest score, who can provide the best value for money should be awarded.

If this supplier is unable to meet your needs, then the next highest scoring supplier should be awarded. E
