The majority of call off contracts will be let using the JCT Minor Works Contract w/ Contractors Design or the JCT Intermediate Construction Contract w/ Contractors Design, however the full suite of JCT contracts maybe utilised. The majority of call off contracts will be let via traditional single stage tender - whether via mini-competition or direct award. However alternative procurement strategies such as 2 stage open book partner contracting may also be utilised.
Direct Award Process -
Ranked Basis
The standard direct award call off on a ranked basis will be from the top ranked contractor from the framework. Should they not have the capacity, capability, meet financial commitments or other project specific works requirements then the next ranked contractor will be approached and so on until a contractor is appointed.
Where the Council makes a direct award called off to the highest ranked contractor or the contractor has won a mini competition call off and the works are either about to commence or onsite works have started, then the Council reserve the right to make subsequent awards to the next ranked contractor without approaching the highest ranked contractor.
Additional Works Basis
Where the Council wishes to use this Framework Agreement in relation to the provision of the Works, it shall identify the relevant Lot which its Works requirements fall into.
Once the relevant Lot has been identified, the Council may offer the opportunity to the Qualified Framework Contractor provided that the Council's Works requirements consist of the repetition of similar Works entrusted to the Qualified Framework Contract to which the Council awarded the original Call-Off Contract, provided that:
a)	Such additional Works are in conformity with the Council's Works requirements for which the original Call-Off Contract was awarded pursuant to the Framework Agreement.
b)	The original Call-Off Contract indicated the extent of possible additional Works and the conditions under which the additional Works may be awarded;
c)	The possible use of this procedure was disclosed at the time the original Call-Off Contract was awarded and the total estimated cost of the additional Works was taken into consideration by the Council; and
d)	The additional Works are awarded within the three (3) years following the conclusion of the original Call-Off Contract.

Lot 1 - works to the value up to £300K, typically in the region of £20K to £50K. There are 11 contractors on this lot, with a primary tier of 6 contractors and a secondary tier of 5 contractors. Contractors ranking is based on the highest scoring contactors during the initial Framework setup.
The scope of works / services / supplies that may be procured via the framework includes, but is not limited to:
• Design, supply and installation work to properties for -
o Solar PV
o Battery Storage
o Electric Vehicle Charge Points
• Project Management
• Supply of all materials associated with the Solar Photovoltaic System & Batteries
• Design, supply and installation of associated technologies and services - EV charging points, retrofitting systems with battery storage.
• Site preparation including for removal of any existing PV and other equipment
• Installation Works
• Testing and Commissioning
• Operational and Maintenance Documentation
• Servicing & Maintenance - as required
The value and type of individual call offs is expected to vary considerably due to the Council's extensive portfolio. Works will be undertaken, but not limited to:
• Social housing
• Schools
• Libraries
• Community Centre's
• Cultural Assets
• Shops
• Industrial Units
• Commercial Units
• Hospitals
• Health Centre's
• University Buildings
• Other Business
The Framework may be used by the Council when undertaking projects on behalf of other local authorities or external clients.
The Council will also have the option to mandate the use of either tier Framework Contractors as sub-contractors on other projects. For example, the Council may ask the Contractors on the Primary
Contractor Framework to select a Contractor on Lot 1 of the Solar PV Framework Contractors as a mandated sub-contractor.
For standard works, the secondary tier will generally be held in reserve and only be invited to take part in mini competitions where the primary tier has been reduced in number on a contingency
basis.
The Council reserves the right at any time during the term of framework agreement to open competition to all contractors on both tiers of the relevant lot, unless the contractor is currently
barred for tendering due performance and/or breaches in the framework agreement compliance conditions.
The reasons why the Council may open the competition across both tiers is not definitive but might include for contractor capacity issues, previous delivery experience, niche work  activities, long programme, high value, complex work constraints, differing contracting strategies / forms, specialist materials, geographical location of works etc.
To ensure that the primary tier remains competitive over the course of the framework agreement both tiers of the contractors may be invited to bid for standard works with the results of the mini competition used to re-establish the primary and secondary tiers.
Call off contracts will generally be let via mini competition but may also be let via direct award in, but not limited to, the following circumstances:
• On a ranked basis
• Additional work basis
Where other contracting authorities utilise the Framework, they will be charged a 1% (of the contract value) fee to contribute towards PCC costs incurred in the setup and ongoing management of the Framework. PCC will invoice the contracting
authority once practical completion of individual call offs have been awarded.
There will be no rebate applied to future works which the Council as Framework owner contracts for directly or provides full employers management services for.

The majority of call off contracts will be let using the JCT Minor Works Contract w/ Contractors Design or the JCT Intermediate Construction Contract w/Contractors Design, however the full suite of JCT contracts maybe utilised.
The majority of call off contracts will be let via traditional single stage tender - whether via mini-competition or direct award. However, alternative procurement strategies such as 2 stage open book partner contracting may also be utilised.
Under lot 2 of the framework, contractors will be required to demonstrate experience of delivering schemes under the JCT form of contract or equivalent i.e. EPC, NEC which include the following features -
o	Definition of Roles and Responsibilities
o	Design Responsibility
o	Damages
o	Defects
o	Retention
o	Dispute Resolution Mechanisms
o	Payment Structure
o	Risk Allocation
o	Insurance Provisions
o	Variation and Change Management
o	Performance Indicators
The Council have historically not awarded any call off contracts under previous iterations of PV framework under anything but JCT forms of contract.
The framework agreement itself will predominantly be making awards under a JCT form of contract, likely to include contractors design portions, with the option to use any of the NEC suite of contracts. No other form of contracts has been referenced in the framework agreement and would not be allowed for in future procurements.

Portsmouth City Council (the Council) sought tenders from contractors for inclusion on a new Solar PV & Associated Equipment Framework.
Contractors will undertake a range of energy generation works, including the design, supply and installation, and if required operation and maintenance of solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems and associated equipment, taking on the role of Principal Contractor or sub-contractor to oversee and manage works using a range of either direct labour or through sub-contractors.
The Framework will serve as the primary route to procure solar PV & battery storage for Portsmouth City Council, with works generally being undertaken to the Councils portfolio of nearly 15,000 social housing properties and 900 corporate assets to
help contribute towards the Council's 2030 Net Zero Carbon target.
The framework consists of two lots, to cover lower value higher frequency call offs and higher value more complex packages of works -
• Lot 1 - works to the value up to £300K, typically in the region of £20K to £50K. There are 11 contractors on this lot, with a primary tier of 6 contractors and a secondary tier of 5 contractors.
• Lot 2 - works from £150K, with no upper limit for the works but typically the works will range from £150,000 to £400,000. There are 10 contractors on this lot with 5 contractors on the primary tier and 5 contractors on the secondary tier.
The framework agreement was established via evaluation of tenders submitted for the following live Council projects, which have been awarded to the highest ranking suppliers on each lot as follows:
Lot 1 - Brambles Infant School and Nursery - Awarded to Kembla Ltd. (Supply and Installation, with elements of Contractor's Design of 37kWp Solar Photovoltaics (PV).  Value of £38,340.
Lot 2 - Mountbatten Centre -  Solar Voltaics Ltd. (Design, Supply and Installation of 280kW Solar Photovoltaics (PV). Value of £216,004.80
The framework will allow for award of call off contracts via mini-competition and direct award against a range of options. The value and type of individual call offs is expected to vary considerably due to the Council's extensive portfolio.
The framework agreement will run for a duration of 4
years.
The framework is available for access to all contracting authorities- situated within Hampshire, Isle of Wight, East Sussex, West Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, Dorset and Oxfordshire
who may use this framework agreement to install systems across their property portfolios.
It is anticipated that over the 4-year period approximately up to £25m of projects may be procured through the Framework under lot 1 and up to £50m under lot 2.
The above figures covers estimated demand by the Council and use from other contracting authorities that will be able to access the framework agreement, either directly or via the Council, although no commitment can be made in this respect.
The Council established the framework agreement in accordance with the Open Procedure as defined within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).

performanceTerms:
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) will be used to assess the Contractor's on-going performance over the lifetime of the framework to ensure that the Council are obtaining value for money for the works they are procuring and that acceptable performance standards are being achieved.
The Contractor will typically be given a KPI score upon completion of each project and upon the conclusion of the defects period by the Contractor Administrator. However, for longer programme and more complex projects the frequency of KPI instances may increase and will be scheduled in the Invitation to Tender.
The KPI score will be provided along with written high-level feedback. Where appropriate the contractor will have the opportunity to meet and discuss any feedback with the Contract Administrator where clarification can be sought.
Each project will be scored from 0-5 with the score representative of the following performance:
0 - Unacceptable Performance - grounds for immediate suspension / removal from the framework.
1 - Poor - significant issues have arisen. May invoke review meeting with framework manager and temporary suspension unless significant and immediate improvements are implemented.
2 - Fair - works were generally undertaken to a satisfactory level however a significant number of smaller issues arose, or one significant issue occurred.
3 - Satisfactory - met the contractual obligation and performed within the range of expectation
4 - Good - met and on occasion exceeded contractual expectations. Works undertaken to a high standard.
5 - Excellent - performed above general contracted requirement by bringing added value and exceeded expectations in multiply areas.
Each project will receive 1 overall KPI score. A holistic approach will be taken when determining a score with there being no pre-set criteria as each will vary, however, it is expected that general themes of assessment will include:
•	Time; Cost; Quality; Health and Safety; Customer Perception; Innovation; Contractual Compliance.
It is expected that contractors will score 3 or above to demonstrate their competence.  Where 3 or above is scored there will be no requirement for the Framework Manager to investigate performance.
In addition, a score of 2 in isolation will not be required to be investigated further by the Framework Manager.
However, where a contractor is displaying a pattern of averaging KPI scores of below 3 (over the last 3 projects or 3 times in the last 6 projects) the Framework Manager may investigate the issues through further discussion with the Contract Administrators and the Contractor.
Contractors may be required to review performance and their own processes and provide improvement plans outlining measures they will implement on subsequent projects to improve performance.
If performance and KPI's do not improve over a sustained period, the Framework Manager may undertake further investigation and where necessary to escalate matters this may result in demotion to a lower tier or suspension from the Framework.
Where following review by the Framework Manager a KPI score of 0 or 1 is upheld the contractor will automatically be demoted to the bottom of tier 2 for a minimum period of 6 months.
In situations where contractors score a KPI of 0, following investigation and consultation with PCC Procurement Services and PCC Legal Representatives the Framework Manager reserves the right to permanently exclude the contractor from the Framework.

Historical Usage
The Council have previously used a Solar PV & Associated Equipment framework since 2020 for the majority of their solar PV and associated equipment projects. The existing Framework will have expired by August 2024.
Since 2020 more than £22.5m worth of work has been tendered via the Frameworks between the Council and other Local Authority call offs. Most of these works have been of relatively low value, although several larger projects have been tendered through this framework.
The table below highlights the number of projects completed with different values since 2020.
Value & Number of Projects
£10m+ - 1
£1m-5m - 2
£100k-£1m -7
£10k-£100k- 19
Framework Management
Throughout the duration of the Framework continual management will be undertaken at both a Framework and Project level.
The management of the Framework will serve a number of key purposes, namely;
•	To ensure compliance of procurement activities (accounts, insurance etc.)
•	Monitor and review contractor performance
•	Allow mutual feedback and seek continuous improvement
•	Update contractors of future procurement opportunities via the Framework
The Council will nominate a Framework Manager who will be responsible for the overall operation of the Framework and be the primary point of contact for Contractors throughout the duration of the Framework.
On occasion representatives from The Council's Procurement Services and The Council's Legal Services may engage with contractors depending in relation to specific issues that may arise over the course of the Framework.
Requirement to Bid
To ensure that the Framework continues to provide an effective route to market for the Council there will a requirement to bid incorporated into it.
The requirement to bid will only apply to Tier 1 contractors and for projects that follow the standard call-off process. The purpose of this is to ensure that tier 1 remains competitive whilst also affording the opportunity of Tier 2 contractors to move up into Tier 1 should existing Tier 1 contractors not regularly tender for works.
Upon issue of an expression of interest, Contractors are to advise the Council of their intention to bid.  If a Contractor fails to inform the Council of their intention not to bid or subsequently does not submit a bid following expressing interest, then following 3 separate occasions they will be demoted from the primary tier to the bottom of the secondary tier and the highest-ranking secondary tier contractor will take their place on the primary tier.
If a Contractor advises the Council they will be unable to bid following the issue of an expression of interest, then this will not count against them as an occurrence and will be invited to bid against subsequent tender opportunities without penalty.
If a contractor is demoted to tier 2 on 2 separate occasions for failing to bid over the course of the Framework, the Framework Management reserves the right to permanently exclude the contractor from the Framework following investigation and consultation with PCC Procurement representatives and PCC Legal Services.
Re-tiering of Framework
During the lifetime of the Framework the Council may wish to re-tier the Framework via a competitive process. This may be undertaken in situations where significant events have occurred that have impacted the market, which may result in contractors being competitive than when the Framework was established.
Whilst this type of re-tiering exercise can be undertaken at any time during the Framework it would not be done more than once a year, except in exceptional circumstances.
The re-tiering exercise would involve all contractors on the relevant Framework lot bidding for a real job using similar evaluation criteria to that with which the Framework was originally established. The results of the tender would then be used to establish the new tiering. Contractors will be able to submit new OH/P percentages and rates, on a meet or beat basis, during a re-tiering exercise.
As per the original Framework procurement-
•	Lot 1 - the highest scoring contractor would assume position 1 on tier 1 and be awarded the project, the next 5 highest scoring contractors would make up the remainder of tier 1 and contractors ranked 7 - 14 will form tier 2 on lot 1.
•	Lot 2 - the highest scoring contractor would assume position 1 on tier 1 and be awarded the project, and the next 4 highest scoring contractors would make up the remainder of tier 1and contractors ranked 6-10 will form tier 2.
Should any of the contractors decline the opportunity to bid as part of the re-tiering exercise they would be automatically placed at the bottom of tier 2 under the relevant lot. If multiple contractors did not tender, they would all be placed at the bottom of tier 2 with the final position based upon their original Framework rankings under the relevant lot.
For example, based on the original tierings on lot 1, should contractors ranked 3, 6 and 8 not submit bids, the original 3rd ranked contractor would assume position 12 on the new tiering, the original 6th ranked contractor would assume position 13 and the original 8th ranked contractor would assume position 14.
Contractors who are currently suspended from the framework would be able to submit a tender to secure a ranking on the framework but would not be able to win the subsequent project unless the reason for the suspension has been resolved i.e. the contractor was suspended for not holding NICIEC accreditation but before the award of the contract can demonstrate this has been re-instated.
Social Value & Yearly Review
To ensure that contractors adhere to their proposals to deliver social value, on an annual basis, the Council require contractors to provide a report to demonstrate which commitments they have managed to meet on an organisational level over the previous 12 months.
The report will be providing details on how contractors have delivered against their initial social value responses provided at the setup of the framework. Contractors who are awarded a position on both lots would only be required to provide one social value report.
The Framework Manager will then review responses. Contractors are expected to evidence delivery against at least 50% of their social value commitments within the 1st two years of the framework establishment and 75% delivery in the third year of the framework agreement. Where contractors fail to achieve the expected social value delivery levels on two occasions during the term of the framework agreement, the contractor will be demoted to the bottom of tier two. Where Contractors are deemed to have not delivered against 25% of their social value commitments, in anyone year, they will be demoted to the bottom of the secondary tier of the framework.
Contractors who have not won work via the framework will still be expected to provide a social value report to demonstrate what social value outputs they have delivered against as an organisation. The Council will look to use the information provided to promote organisations across social media and publish through our communications team and social value page to raise the profile of organisations commitment to deliver social value outcomes.
Contractors will be expected to honour their tendered trade hourly rates and OH/P percentages for the duration of the framework agreement. The only time contractors will be able to increase the rates and OH/P percentages will be when a special mini-competition is issued.
Framework Access
The framework will be available for access to all contracting authorities- situated within Hampshire, Isle of Wight, East Sussex, West Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, Dorset and Oxfordshire who may use this framework agreement to install systems across their property portfolios.

mainProcurementCategory: works

procurementMethodRationale:
We refer to the previously issued VEAT Notice (2024/S 000-010442) published on 28 March 2024. The indices values referenced therein are incorrect and the EANI therefore publish this VEAT in order to rectify these indices values. Please disregard the previous VEAT.

Inflation after 1 April 2021 will be change in BCIS MTC Updating Percentages from 31 March 2021 indices based on TO issue date/latest published index. For travel expenses for Response Task Orders issued outside of the Lot received on or after 1 June 2022, an additional amount for travel has been included.

It is the EA’s intention, upon receipt of compelling evidence, to consider the review of certain prices in the price lists for specific elements of which the impact of inflation is higher than what could have reasonably and diligently anticipated. This includes:

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: See information in section VI.3 Additional Information

description:
The previous VEAT 2024/S 000-004318 issued on 8 February 2024 extended this contract until 31 August 2025 with an option for the EANI to terminate, at its sole discretion, the contract by providing the contractor with written notice of its intention to terminate the contract. The VEAT also detailed an increase to the value of the contract of 4,000,000.00 GBP which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value.
This Notice concerns the above modifications along with the previous VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-012069 issued on 12 April 2024 detailing EANI’s intention, upon receipt of compelling evidence, to consider the review of certain prices in the price lists for specific elements of which the impact of inflation is higher than what could have reasonably and diligently anticipated.
The overall nature of contract is not altered.
The total value of the extension is 4,000,000.00GBP.
Further information in VI.3 Additional Information

description: It has become necessary for EANI to further increase the value and extend the period of this contract to 31 August 2025. EANI published VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-004318 on 8 February 2024 detailing their intention to extend to the value and time of the Contract. This was required as additional expenditure has been incurred due to an unforeseen additional budget release by which the consequent additional funding facilitated the performance of additional works and the unforeseen demand particularly in respect of response works and for works to accommodate children with Special Education Needs. These factors, combined with the continued effect of inflation which were not anticipated at the time of the original Contract Notice or subsequent VEAT Notices, has precipitated a more rapid consumption of the value of the contract stated in the previous VEAT Notice. . This extension of the contract is also required due to delays in the ongoing procurement process, which has had the ramification of consequent delays on the next phases of the procurement, which could not have been reasonably foreseen and which has resulted in the requirement to increase the value and period of this contract. . In addition to extending the value and time of the Contract, EANI issued a further VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-012069 dated 12 April 2024 outlining their intention, upon receipt of compelling evidence, to consider the review of certain prices in the price lists for specific elements of which the impact of inflation is higher than what could have reasonably and diligently anticipated. The overall nature of contract is not altered. The relevant percentage indices to be applied in respect of each exceptional item are set out in the previously published VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-012069. . In applying for a price uplift in respect of these Exceptional items, the Contractor will have the choice to either claim the rates in the Price List applying the appropriate indexation percentage or claim under the Defined Costs. If the price of an Exceptional Item has been previously agreed, the Contractor may continue to claim at this rate. The Contractor is not required to produce evidence if they do not wish to avail of the Defined Costs. . Regulation 72(1)(c) permits the above modifications, including the change to the uplift mechanism for exceptional items, the increase in value of the Contract and the extension of the Contract, due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. In addition the overall nature of the contract is not altered and Modification value is GBP 4 000 000 which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value. This contingency includes sums to permit work in other Lots (as per the contract and Regulation 72 (1)(a)). . The uplift to the contract value also being sought as a precautionary measure to ensure continued service delivery of the SEN placement programme and in particular the potential of further ongoing response maintenance works as may be required before the contract expiry. . In order to provide continued access to schools and the scale, complexity and nature of the construction works and possible duplication of costs it is not possible to change the current provider. Regulation 72(1)(b) further permits this as a change of provider: . (i) cannot be made for economic and technical reasons as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability of services procured under the original procurement and given the need to ensure continued access to EANI schools and facilities and could result in partial/total closure of schools; and . (ii) will cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs. . EANI envisages new contract award by no later than 31/08/25 and the contract extension shall permit the contracting authority to terminate the contract before this date upon the provision of three months’ notice..

description: Procurement of Ajax Drill Rounds

title: 4000000.00

description: Original Contract Number is incorrect, the Contract Number should be 713289450

label: Contract Number

description: Procurement of Ajax Drill Rounds

description: Weapons, ammunition and associated parts

procurementMethodRationale:
The Defence Equipment & Support Land Equipment Ajax Portfolio Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (the Authority), intends to award a single source contract for a total of 3 years to Lockheed Martin United Kingdom (LMUK) for the purchase of 2700 Drill Rounds for Ajax Vehicles & Training Systems.
In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450).  Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate.
It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the DSPCR 2011 for Technical Reasons. This is for the following reasons.
LMUK have previously provided Drill Rounds to the Authority’s Ajax Programme. The current LMUK Drill Rounds have been designed, tested and qualified to work in line with the required Ajax specification. Previous testing on alternative Drill Rounds has been conducted and various options have been deemed non-compliant to the Ajax specification. There are no other Drill Rounds available from alternative suppliers in the market that meet the Authority’s requirements and are qualified for use.
The requirement for Drill Rounds is on the Ajax Critical Path and is essential to the programme. Now that additional Ajax vehicles and Training Systems are in service the need for compliant Drill Rounds is critical. To adhere to requirements set out by the Authority’s Future Soldier Integrated Review, Drill Rounds must be procured to ensure Ajax Vehicles & Training Systems are supported to maintain the schedule. The current LMUK Drill Rounds will allow the Authority to maintain the current specification reducing technical and operational risk, risk to the programme timeline and damage to equipment. It would also prevent additional delays and impacts on essential Ajax training requirements.
Delays have already caused significant impacts to the Ajax programme historically. To design, test and qualify a new Drill Round now, even if this was possible, will introduce further delays to the Ajax programme which will not be tolerable. Consequently, even if an alternative supplier had the technical capability to produce a Drill Round suitable for use with the Ajax Vehicles & Training Systems and then have it successfully qualified for use, this would cause unacceptable and disproportionate time and cost impacts on the Ajax programme.
