Mini-Competition of Call off Contracts

Whilst generally for the Inspired programme of projects and other Lottery Funded programmes each project shall be procured by Direct Call Off as detailed within the Inspired area of the website, there are also agreed processes within the Framework Agreements for Other Contracting Bodies (OCB) where their own procurement procedures require, for mini-competition.

It is expected that the relevant OCB has employed their own Professional Consultant Team to develop their design and specification to ensure comparable tenders can be submitted by all Framework Contractors. Mini Competition should be to all Framework Contractors within the respective Framework or Region where Building Modernisation.

The details of each mini-competition will be determined on a case by case basis, but should expect to include the following steps:-

For management purposes, the OCB approaches Sport England and advises that they wish to make use of the Framework Agreements to undertake a particular project.

Sport England agree that this may be done and provides advance warning to the Contractors.

The OCB seeks confirmation from each Contractor that they would be interested in entering a mini-competition for the project of which some preliminary details are provided.

Upon receipt of confirmation from the Providers that they would be prepared to provide a tender in this way, the OCB will issue a set of ITT documents providing details of the project, contractual arrangements, the mini-competition process and evaluation criteria, which will include the criteria as outlined in the table below. The OCB shall decide the extent to which the tasks, specifications and processes contained within the Framework Agreement are replicated.
