The framework will be split into 3 lots based on value. 1) Lot 1 (Works and Service <500 000 GBP) 6 bidders to contract award; 2) Lot 2 (Works and Service >250 000 GBP <6 000 000 GBP) 7 bidders to contract award; 3) Lot 3 (Works and Service >5 000 000 GBP <12 000 000 GBP) 6 bidders to contract award. The procurement followed the 2 stage restricted procedure. Stage 1 selection through use of PAS91 Standard Questionnaire. Constructionline members providing membership details need only provide a limited subset of selection data (see SQ for details). Invited bidders to ITT stage (Stage 2) were required to provide generic and lot specific technical method statements, questions on social value and lot specific schedules of rates and bills of quantities.
