Xlinks considers that the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCR2016) may potentially apply to the award of contracts under the framework. As a result, it is Xlinks' current intention, on a voluntary basis, to follow the procedures set out in UCR2016 as regards the award of the framework agreement.
The framework agreement will facilitate the award of contracts through both direct awards and following mini-competition amongst relevant framework consultants. The criteria for making awards are currently under development and will be advised to pre-qualified bidders who proceed to the ITT stage of this competition. It is anticipated that the criteria will include relevant experience of the consultant, availability of relevant personnel, ability to meet required timescale / programme and ability to meet target budget for a particular piece of work. The criteria may be ascribed differing levels of importance depending on the relevance / criticality of a particular criterion to a specific scope of work. Xlinks will incorporate greater flexibility to determine relevant criteria where UCR2016 are not applicable.
