Call-Off Process

How to use this Framework?

Our simple step process allows for both Direct Selection or Mini-Competition. Further information can be found below. Please note that clients may enter into a contract for any duration that best allows for the performance of the requirement to be achieved.

Direct selection

With the Direct Selection method, you may select the contractor who is ranked number 1, or any other contractor/ consultant on the following basis:

  • Where you have an existing relationship with the contractor/ consultant.
  • Where the Call-off has substantial similarities to a previous project the contractor/ consultant was involved with. (under this Framework Agreement or not)
  • For reasons of urgency, it is not reasonably practical to award the Call-off Contract by way of a Mini-Competition.
  • Capability Criteria determining that only one framework appointee is capable of carrying out the Call-off contract.
  • Where the Client is able to determine which contractor/ consultant will provide it with the most economically advantageous offer.
  • Where the contractor/ consultant has introduced the site.

Mini competition

Our Mini-Competition process lets you expand beyond the framework’s original specification to meet your specific requirements. The framework partners from the relevant lot are invited to tender (where capable). This process typically takes 2-4 weeks. The capability criteria can be defined by the following:

  • The contractors capability to carry out a project of the size and complexity of the proposed project.
  • The contractors capability to carry out works and services in the locality of the proposed project.
  • The insurances held by the contractor.
  • The contractors financial stability and standing.
  • The contractors health and safety record.
  • The contractors capacity, taking into account the value of Works and Services already awarded to it under the Framework Agreement.
Call-off Forms

Call-off Procedure (E-Sign)

ProcurePublic has simplified the Call-off process to 4 steps allowing you access to our framework within minutes. The 4 steps include E-sign and details (or guidance) can be found below; alternatively, you can choose Mini-Competition.

Direct Selection

This step will allow your organisation to Direct Select an appointee from the Framework. The E-Sign Form contains the joining agreement and contract. The form allows for schedules, amendments and requirements to be inserted. For audit purposes Procure Public will need to retain a copy of the form in order for the contract to be effective.
