Mini-Competition Process Guide
Any publically funded body can use this framework – access is not limited to SEC Members alone. Full details can be found here.
There is no access fee to use this framework. A levy % dependant on whether you are a guest or member is collected directly from the contractor once a call off contract is awarded. This percentage will never be more than 1.5% for Members and 2% for Guests.
If your organisation is already a SEC Member then you will not need to sign an additional Access Agreement. You’re already signed up.
If your organisation is new to SEC, and would like to use our frameworks as a non-member then you will need to sign our Access Agreement. You’ll only need to sign this once and you’ll receive access to all our Frameworks and DPS’s – even ones we procure in the future. You can view a draft agreement here – DRAFT Access Agreement (Non-Members).
In the evaluation of bidders for this framework, a cost / quality ratio was used rather than the traditional cost / quality evaluation method. The aim of using the cost / quality ratio as the evaluation approach for this framework was to measure quality and then calculate the quality as a function of price to measure overall Value for Money (VFM). You can learn more about the cost/quality ratio and how we used it here.
