Description

It should be noted that the Framework could be used in a number of ways where cleaning materials and janitorial supplies are required. For example, Customers may want Goods and/or Services for one site, or multiple sites. Customers wishing to buy Goods and/or Services via the Framework will do so in the following way(s) in accordance with section 45 of the Procurement Act 2023 (and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof): Call-off without competition 'Calling-off' Goods and/or Services from a supplier identified who is a) included in the framework, b) suitable for meeting the customer's specific needs, c) within the geographical region of the Customer, and d) identified as offering the most advantageous solution to the Customer’s requirements, based on Framework pricing, the Goods and/or Services available and any additional benefits offered by each Supplier, as were sought during the Tender process. Call-off with competition (Further Competitive Selection Process) Calling-off' by conducting a further competitive selection process amongst those Suppliers identified in the Framework as being able to provide the required Goods/Services. This means that not all competitive selection processes will necessarily include all the Suppliers – a Customer will only invite those Suppliers that are included in the Framework for the particular type and location of Contract required. Customers will assess the Suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the Framework. Please note that once this Framework is established, the right is reserved by the Customer when running a further competitive selection process, to invite the Suppliers to participate in an eAuction. All Goods and/or Services provided under the Framework will be provided and delivered directly to the Customers, in accordance with instructions given to the Supplier at the time of placing the order. Liability for payment of the Supplier’s invoices will rest solely with the Customer, as appropriate in each case.
