Description
This is an Open Procedure tender, as defined in sections 20(1) and 20(2)(a) of the Act. The University is setting up an Open Framework, which is a series of successive frameworks as defined by the Act. This is the framework 1 of the scheme (NTU/25/2775/DS). There are a maximum of two frameworks under this open framework. This competition is for the award of framework one in the scheme of frameworks. Framework one will have a contract period of 36 months. Framework two will have a contract period of 60 months. The open framework will last 8 years in total. Any subsequent extension to the Framework will be agreed between NTU and the appointed Suppliers.

For any extension(s) to the Framework, discussions with Supplier(s) to arrive at an agreed position shall be conducted sufficiently far in advance of the expiry date.
