Common use of Further Competition Clause in Contracts

Further Competition. Customers who have significant volume or more complex requirements may further compete their requirements amongst the framework suppliers to determine which supplier will provide best value for their organisation. If you decide to carry out a further competition remember that CCS has already carried out a procurement exercise in compliance with all public procurement regulations to appoint suppliers to this agreement. You will need to prepare further competition documentation including an ITT (Invitation to Tender), a timetable for your competition, your specification/statement of requirements and the evaluation criteria you will use to evaluate bids (see evaluation criteria below). If you include a draft Order Form, completed as far as possible, this will help save time in getting your order placed with the successful supplier at the end of the further competition process. Ensure you allow suppliers sufficient time to prepare and submit their bids, and to encourage maximum supplier response only ask for information that is relevant to your requirement. During your bid evaluation, you must treat all suppliers equally and fairly and it is also vital that you evaluate the bids in the same way you stipulated in the further competition documentation. Once you have identified which bid was the most economically advantageous tender you must tell all the suppliers of the outcome of the further competition. You can place your order with the successful supplier by finalising and placing the completed order form. Further competition documentation should not duplicate what is in the standard T&Cs and should only cover any enhancements to these. Additional vehicle discounts will only be achieved on vehicle volumes as current framework discounts are already extremely competitive.
