Call off Service
SWPA’s Call Off Service is offered on all frameworks and DPS’s with the purpose of supporting our clients by freeing up their time and resources to allocate by running Call Off Mini Competitions on their behalf.
The service provides our clients with professional expertise and support from project registration right through to formal award and is tailored to meet the needs of each individual partner and their project specific requirements.
After meetings to scope the project, timelines for each stage of the Call Off process were agreed and SWPA began drafting the tender documentation. Once the documentation had been signed off by Rooftop Housing Group, SWPA uploaded the Mini Competition onto the eTendering portal.
Throughout the tendering period SWPA monitored and responded to any questions from bidders. Following the tender deadline date, SWPA carried out a tender evaluation and prepared both a Tender Report for client approval and award letters for issue.
"Our organisation found the procurement process through SWPA to be far more straight-forward than other procurement processes that we have used previously, and would recommend that other similar social housing providers approach SWPA to help them in setting up a tender evaluation of practicing contractors within different regions of the country, to help remove a lot of the administration work taking place in the background, and the onus off ourselves in contacting each company beforehand on our behalf.
The SWPA team were more than happy to guide and assist us throughout the process to help make it as streamlined as possible."
