- Framework details
- A contract will be established between the Supplier and the Authority by means of the issue of a Work Order by the Authority with instructions to provide services. Refer to Lot 1/2 Scope of Service for further information. The Supplier will provide the service under each Work Order using the same team as indicated in their TP-TS Team Structure. This will mean that a consistent team will be engaged to provide fire risk assessment services. As set out in the Scope of Services, a Supplier may not be issued with any further orders where it failed to substantially achieve the level of performance on previous orders compliant with the KPIs set out in the Framework Agreement. A Work Order will normally be associated with a single project or building, but where appropriate the Authority may, for example, create a Work Order for a number of buildings / projects or to provide services for a particular member or members of the Client Group. The Authority reserves the right to bundle Projects as part of one Work Order at its discretion.
