Choose your Procurement Route
Under the Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) Services and Consultancy Services Associated with AVCs Framework you have two options, you can either run a Further Competition or make a Direct Award (Lot 2 only). Details on both of these options can be found below.
A Further Competition allows you to assess and evaluate which Provider best meets your individual needs. This process involves establishing an evaluation criteria, timeframe and process, along with creating your own Invitation to Further Competition using the example template provided.
You can Direct Award from Lot 2 whenever you have a specific, one-off piece of work giving you the flexibility of appointing the most suitable Provider for your requirements. This can be done under shorter timescales and you can Award on the same day if required.
