Framework details

Contracts may be awarded to successful suppliers with a place on the framework either with or without competition, in compliance with PA23. Any contracts under the framework awarded without competition will be awarded according to mechanisms detailed in the associated tender documents. The Customer is required to award any Call-Off Contract in accordance with the competitive selection process unless the Customer can determine that any of the following apply: a. the estimated value of its Statement of Requirements is below the relevant Procurement Thresholds; b. the Services to which the proposed Call-Off Contract relate are capable of being provided only by the existing Supplier due to an absence of competition, either as a result of the technical nature of the Services or the particular Supplier having the intellectual property rights, and there are no reasonable alternatives to the Services; c. the Services to which the proposed Call-Off Contract relate are intended as an extension to, or replacement of, existing Services in circumstances where a change in supplier would result in the Customer receiving Services that are different from or incompatible with the existing Services, and the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance; and then the Customer may award a Call-Off Contract without a competitive process. Please see tender documentation for more detail.
