community benefit comes as standard

As a requirement for being appointed to the framework every bidder confirmed their willingness to deliver all the measures set out in the Considerate Constructors Scheme's Social Value Checklist which, depending on the size and nature of the Project and the needs of the local community, might include:

Local employment

Full & part time; apprenticeships; work experience

Supply chain

Local sub-contractors, suppliers, social enterprises, NGOs & charities

Supplies & equipment

Locally manufactured; reused or recycled; or sustainably sourced 

Community engagement

Educational (eg. engaging with local schools & colleges etc); social (eg. engaging with local clubs & charities etc); or environmental (eg. litter patrol & work parties etc)

proven capability, nationwide

This DPS is a single lot covering all parts of the UK. 

Within this, suppliers can restrict their area of focus, and buyers can use those suppliers' preferences to restrict invitations. The criteria to determine capability may include, but not be limited to, technical performance, past performance, ability to deliver the project within the required timescale due to workload, geographic capability and or financial standing at the time of the project, or supplier preferences recorded and maintained by B2G with regards to project value and or location and or work type and or third party accreditations held by the Supplier. 

Naturally, suppliers select the specialism for which they wish to be considered (and have provided references and certification etc) as follow:

Active regions:

Suppliers select the region/s in which they should be considered 'active', and may update their preferences at any time. To minimise carbon footprints and optimise procurement efficiency, Buyers may restrict invitations to Suppliers who are 'active' in region/s where services will be delivered, and Suppliers may decline Buyer invitations to deliver services in regions where the Supplier is not 'active'. Notwithstanding the above, Buyers retain the right to invite and contract with any Supplier to deliver services anywhere in the 'lot' (ie. the UK), and Suppliers retain the right to deliver services for any Buyer anywhere in the 'lot' (ie. the UK).

Contract value:

Suppliers select the maximum and minimum contract value they would wish to bid for (the 'ceiling' and 'floor') and may update their preferences at any time.

Project assignment:

If a Project is awarded under a B2G framework and a significant part of the Project is to be sub-contracted to a specialist/contractor/installer who is on a pre-approved list of the framework supplier, and who is also registered on this DPS, then to optimise efficiency in both procurement and delivery of the Project, the B2G framework supplier may assign the Project or part thereof and the Buyer may contract directly with the assignee Supplier to deliver those works, supplies and or services under the auspices of the framework supplier and compliant with the specification, standards and regulations set out in the framework documents.

Buyer eligibility

Any publicly funded organisation and or contracting authority in the United Kingdom as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 including but not limited to any central government department, agency, devolved administration and or national/non-departmental public body or any local authority, unitary authority, or subsidiary or joint-venture vehicle of a local or unitary authority, or any arms-length management organisation or council owned company, or any school, college, university, education trust or authority, or any transport authority or service provider, or any health authority, council, board or trust, or any police, fire, rescue or emergency service, or any housing association, registered social landlord or tenant management organisation or any registered charity may access B2G frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems as a Buyer, as may any private sector organisation, particularly those established by public sector organisations to deliver public services.

Evaluation

Above all we aim to assure proven competence. Each section of the bid document is scored separately:

• Standard Questions
  This section is pass/fail. Standard Questions were based on PAS91 & ESPD format, covering company and financial standing.

• Social Value
  All bidders confirm they will support social value measures clients may request, across four categories (in accordance with the Social Value Checklist developed by the Considerate Constructors Scheme) covering local employment, supply chain, supplies and equipment, and community engagement. 

• Quality
  We focus on competency and proven capability, with a focus on third party certification and case studies, and in the case of the latter we pro-actively seek client confirmation that projects were or are being delivered to the client's satisfaction. 

• Price
  This being a DPS, we do not collect or evaluate pricing at the registration stage. However our philosophy tallies with the government’s Should Cost Modelling, with its focus on achieving competitive sustainable pricing rather than a race to the bottom.
