Description
The customer may utilise the framework through use of the call off route or via mini competition. The use of the Direct Call-Off option or the Mini Competition option will be at the client's discretion. These routes are outlined below: • Direct Call-Off - This option is open to schools, where the schools needs can be met by tender pricing. Schools will buy directly from the framework based on the information and product pricing provided by each supplier in their tender bid. This means that the Schools would select products based on the information provided that is the closest match to their operational requirements. • Mini Competition - In line with school's requirements, there may be the need to run mini-competitions within this Framework Agreement utilising a desktop assessment of costs based on framework prices submitted. Mini Competitions will be evaluated based on cost and will be awarded under the same terms and conditions.
