Description
ABP is looking to appoint suitably qualified contractors to our new Civils Framework. The ABP Civils Framework is designed to provide access to pre-qualified civil engineering contractors across the Humber, Southampton, South Wales and East Anglia. Its scope encompasses a wide range of low to mid value construction and maintenance works, structured to support both operational efficiency and Small to Medium size Enterprise (SME) participation. This Framework was shaped through extensive Applicant engagement, including Q&A sessions, face-to-face meetings, and questionnaires to refine the Lotting structure and address barriers to participation.

Award Criteria
| Simple description | The following information summarises the approach to evaluating and scoring the Applicants PSQ response. Initial Compliance Check ABP will undertake a compliance check of the information submitted (including checks on ABP’s compliance screening software). Failure to complete all relevant questions, failure to enclose supporting documentation or compliance concerns being flagged by ABP’s compliance screening software may result in the Applicant’s PSQ response being rejected. Provided for information only and not scored A number of sections of this PSQ which are to be returned with your submission are not scored and are supplied for ABP’s information only. However, these sections must be fully completed & all information required and requested must be provided. Mandatory Pass / Fail sections A number of sections are PASS/FAIL criteria with either a mandatory PASS or discretionary PASS requirements. If you score a FAIL in any one of the sub-sections of the PSQ, the Applicant will not progress to the next stage. If you score a PASS in all of the sub-sections, your submission will progress to the full PSQ evaluation stage. The sections that are evaluated using the mandatory PASS/FAIL criteria are clearly detailed in the PSQ Response Document contained within Appendix 04 - PSQ Response Document Scored and weighted sections Only those Applicants that have passed the “PASS/FAIL” criteria and provided the information in the “For Information only” sections will go on to be fully scored by the ABP Evaluation Team. The sections that are to be evaluated using the below Scoring Criteria are clearly detailed in the PSQ Response Document contained within Appendix 04 - PSQ Response Document. |
