Description
The Buyer may purchase items from the Framework via direct call-off or via a mini-competition. The Buyer reserves the right to conduct mini competitions for any additional requirements over and above those listed under this Framework but which fall within the scope of the Framework that are over the value of £10k. For the avoidance of doubt, mini-competitions may only be conducted between all awarded Suppliers in the Lot that the item to be added falls within scope of. It is envisaged that the Buyer may use this mechanism under the Framework where there exists a bulk purchase requirement. Any mini-competition will be based on 100% price, however there may be a requirement for additional mandatory criteria specific to each project, for example supply by a specified time / date.
