Description

Norfolk County Council (NCC) is seeking proposals from qualified providers to deliver comprehensive compliance inspections and certification for our hot water service assets and associated Plant. This tender covers a wide range of systems, including gas boilers, oil boilers, biofuel boilers, unvented/vented water heaters, standard electrical water heaters, as well as air source and ground source heat pump systems. Our assets range from domestic systems to large commercial Boilers and associated plant. The successful provider will be expected to ensure that all systems are tested, certified, and reported in line with current regulatory standards. Our aim is to guarantee safe and efficient operation of these critical assets across the Council's portfolio. Please note that the values in this notice are an indication for the full 5 year term of the contract including extension Options. Please note that Norfolk County Council has joined the government's Devolution Priority Programme. This process has the potential to lead to the establishment of a county combined authority for Norfolk and Suffolk, with strategic powers, headed by an elected mayor. A Government has also invited participation by Norfolk in Local Government Review. This process has the potential to lead to unitary local government in Norfolk, being either one unitary or more than one. One of these changes could happen without the other.

Award criteria

Criteria the buyer will use to evaluate bids.

NameDescriptionTypeWeighting
Simple descriptionNCCT43213 Electrical and Mechanical Servicing for all Hot Water & Heating Service Assets & Associated Plant We reserve the right during subsequent stages of the Competitive Flexible procedure to refine the award and or assessment criteria and may alter the relative importance of the award and or assessment criteria. Any amendments will therefore be communicated in full at the appropriate time. The structure of this Competitive Flexible Process is detailed below. Bidders will be invited to complete all schedules of the ITT Documentation pack and submit their initial bids including their Quality & Price submissions. Once bidders return their initial bid submissions via INTEND the first level of assessment will be a compliance check against the ITT instructions contained in this whole document. Pricing Clarifications and bidding assumptions will be assessed and dialogue maybe required during the pricing assessment stage. . NCC does however reserve the right not to dialogue at the pricing assessment stage and proceed to award . All parties that Pass the Quality Threshold score will progress to having their Price scoring added to the Quality to determine a rank order of eligible bidders. The highest scoring bidder will be awarded the contract subject to effective conclusion of standstill at NCC discretion. Annex 4 Form F Quality Evaluation is weighted 50% Each Quality Question has been broken down comprising a total weighting available of the 50% amongst each of the questions. The formula for calculation will be Weighting for each question divided by Maximum Mark available x Score received . Annex 3 Form G Pricing Evaluation is weighted 50% Pricing Clarifications and bidding assumptions will be assessed and dialogue maybe required during the pricing assessment stage. One total price will be summed as representative for the three years of the committed contract. For Price we will then use the formula Lowest Price divided by Bid Price x 50 to calculate the Price Final Score. Where bidders pricing is incomplete and this is not able to resolved / corrected within a calendar week of notifying them then they will score a zero for their pricing submission and their tender submission will be disregarded and not eligible for award.. The Quality and Price will then be added together to give a score out of 100% and bidders ranked accordingly. NCC reserve the right to undertake dialogue as part of pricing assessments if it elects to do so. Bidders will be notified during the process if this will take pace. Full tender instructions can be found in the ITT Document.price
