The Employer will email the Contractor, providing the project information and appropriate form of contract, and indicating the required timescale for the Contractor's response. The Contractor will email the Employer within 24 hours, either confirming that they will be providing a quote for the works or declining so to do. Should the first ranked supplier be unable or unwilling to undertake the work, the second ranked supplier will be approached in a similar fashion, and so forth. The Contractor shall email the Employer within the required response time providing their Offer, priced in accordance with the framework pricing schedule, and proposals to carry out the works. The Employer will assess the response and, if acceptable, will contact the Contractor by email to award the contract and to arrange for contract completion
