Description
The framework operates via a commission-based call-off process. When services are required, Network Rail issues purchase orders specifying the scope, technical requirements, delivery schedule and applicable rates. Suppliers are designated per lot as Primary, Secondary or Framework Approved. Call-offs may be made directly to the Primary or Secondary Supplier. Where these suppliers are unable to fulfil the requirement, requests for quotation may be issued to Framework Approved Suppliers. Pricing is based on pre-agreed rates within the framework, with confirmation where required through request for quotation processes. This approach provides flexibility to respond to operational demand and ensures continuity of service throughout the contract term.
