Our's have said no new suppliers considered for 3-4 years!
Ours is the opposite...theyre opening it up to anyone in the UK, indeed the EU ..all you need do is register through an Internet portal to get access to all scottish tenders of all descriptions......FFS...last time I tendered it was to on 2 sheets of A4 ..now to tender it takes nigh on 50 sheets of A4 for each and every tender, I can see the LA sifting through that lotl.........Notttttttttttttt!
Anyone within the EU can tender for any government contract. This is why councils are going through this tender framework process. This way they can limit the number of company's.
But frameworks work on a set Price per mile (with allowance for time of day or night)...and not all runs work that way, a short run at framework price just would not be worth the effort where as a long run would be ok.
Its so inflexible and should you underprice yourself at the time of pricing then your saddled with barely profitable work for a long time...and if you over price then you'll never get a look in...just to brutal.
No, in Leicestershire there are 2 different types of framework. The main framework is the one where you receive email tenders for a contract. All the company's on the framework receive this email and those interested in quoting return the email with their price and usually the lowest price gets the contract. There is also the type of framework that you mention but this is just for a certain type of contract where you put a price in for particular zones, and I agree this does not work very well.
