Description
The Contract will be let for an initial term of four (4) years. Following the expiry of the initial term, NTL may, at its sole discretion, exercise up to two (2) extension options of two (2) years each (a potential maximum contract duration of eight (8) years). Extensions may be considered where: Service performance has consistently met or exceeded the required KPIs, including compliance, responsiveness, environmental standards, and reporting obligations. Operational continuity is desirable to avoid service disruption, particularly where ongoing site‑specific knowledge or specialist waste-handling expertise is beneficial. Value for money can be demonstrated, including benchmarking or a review showing that the extension period remains commercially advantageous. Regulatory compliance continues to be maintained, with the supplier remaining appropriately licensed for handling, transporting, and disposing of liquid waste. Business needs remain unchanged, and the scope and volume of liquid waste removal services are still required in line with the existing specification. If both extension options are applied, the breakdown is as follows: Initial Term: 4 years Extension Option 1: 2 years Extension Option 2: 2 years Maximum Contract Duration: 8 years total

Options

Description
NTL may request additional deliverables or services that are not explicitly listed in the scope of this procurement. Where such requirements arise, pricing will be agreed within the relevant work order, subject to the following conditions: - Any pricing related to design, build, or management services must remain consistent with the rates set out in the framework. - All agreed prices must be clearly linked to comparable items already included in the framework pricing schedule. - The appointed supplier will be required to provide supporting evidence to justify the proposed pricing.
