The Framework, which is being procured as a Competitive Flexible Procedure, and will provide EEM Members with a provision for internal, external and whole house property maintenance, refurbishment and responsive repairs for our membership's property stock. The first stage of the procurement will consist of a procurement-specific questionnaire along with a pricing schedule, which bidders will be required to complete and submit for evaluation. As well as the above, EEM will require contractors to complete Minimum Competence and Best Practice Requirements Pass/ Fail Questions and additional Pass/ Fail questions. Following the evaluation and completion of Stage 1, Contractors who meet the minimum requirements and achieve the required threshold will be invited to participate in Stage 2 of the Competitive Flexible Procedure. Pricing will be carried forward from Stage 1 and Bidders will be evaluated in accordance with the tender documentation issued to the Bidders. Works delivered via this framework will be to domestic and commercial properties.

In addition to the Contractors appointed to each lot, EEM reserves the right to appoint a 'Reserve Bidder' for each lot, either at the same time as, or at any time during, the award and pre framework commencement stage. The Reserve Bidder for each lot will normally be the next highest ranked bidder following completion of the evaluation process for each lot, provided that their submission has met the required minimum evaluation standards. For the avoidance of doubt, if EEM appointed all 10 Contractors to Lot 1, 2 and 3, then the 11th placed bidder for each lot may be appointed as the Reserve Bidder. If all 10 places on a particular lot are not filled, EEM still reserves the right to appoint Reserve Bidders on those lots. Following the appointment of Successful Contractors, in the event that the Successful Contractor: •Makes a material alteration to the Bid which formed the basis of its selection as Successful Contractor (whether as to price or any other aspect of its Bid); •Does not comply with the provisions of this document; •In the reasonable opinion of EEM fails to make satisfactory progress towards signature of the Framework Agreement; and •In the case of any of the above, fails to remedy the situation to the reasonable satisfaction of EEM within a defined time period having been served notice in writing by EEM; i. EEM shall be entitled to de-select the Successful Contractor(s) and at the absolute discretion of EEM to exclude the Successful Contractor(s) from any further participation in the Procurement process or to introduce a further competitive stage in the Procurement process in which the Successful Bidder(s) may or may not (in the absolute discretion of EEM) be invited to tender.

All Bidders must declare any relevant corporate relationships, including parent companies, subsidiaries, or associated entities, within their tender submission.
