Framework operation description

The proposed Framework Agreement is intended to run for an initial period of four (4) years, with the option to extend for a further four (4) years, giving a maximum duration of eight (8) years. In line with the principles of openness and competition, there is also a provision to allow new suppliers to join the framework during year three (3) and again in year six (6).

Call-offs under the Framework Agreement shall be conducted through one of the following methods:

鈼� Mini-Competition,

鈼� Direct Award (by rotation), or

All awards under the Framework shall be made in accordance with the one of three of the established call-off procedures.

For the avoidance of doubt,

鈼� Direct Award will be used routinely for straightforward or low-risk commissions

鈼� Mini-competitions are reserved for complex or higher-value work

鈼� Desktop exercises are used to respond to urgent or time critical needs. They do not remove the need for proper checks, records, or governance.
