Generic pre-qualification questionnaire | Guidance notes

The pre-qualification questionnaire should be used by all organisations in order to provide a rational, structured and auditable process for the selection of long-term collaborative supply chain partners. The scoring matrix will need amending to suit a particular buying organisation's weighting of importance that it attaches to certain criteria.

Generic Framework Agreement | Guidance notes

The Framework Agreement should also be used for establishing a long-term contractual basis within which single projects can be let as project-specific orders. This allows projects to be planned and executed more quickly compared to more conventional forms of procurement, since the fundamental terms are already established within the Framework Agreement.
Information on where to obtain further advice on these resources can be obtained from reform bodies such as the Construction Manufacturers Partnering Association (COMPASS) on 01524 782830. Where contract amendments are being made, appropriate legal advice should be sought.

Notes

This is a central repository of generic documents and other resources that may be used and applied across all Chainlink modules. They are intended as a reference for Toolkit users since the general principles apply equally whether you are a manufacturer seeking a supplier of sheet metal or a building contractor wishing to employ a mechanical and electrical works contractor.

Important note: These documents and resources are for guidance purposes only. Although they should prove helpful to many Toolkit users, it must be borne in mind that no set of documents or tools can apply to every situation. Where appropriate, these resources should be adapted to suit specific situations and it is recommended that professional assistance sought in this respect.

The content of the Resources section of the Toolkit will increase as more generic documents and tools become available. It is also intended to continuously develop and improve the various items, based on user feedback, to improve their usefulness and breadth of application.

The two main documents in this Resources section, at present, are a pre-qualification document and a Framework Agreement. These are both fairly detailed documents and have been drafted for use in complex high-value collaborative relationships, the level of which may not be required for many partnering scenarios where relatively simple transactions are involved. Nevertheless, they provide a useful checklist of the areas that need to be considered at any level of integration and can be simplified accordingly.
