The Framework will be established with up to five Framework Providers. The Authority intends to appoint four Framework Providers but reserves the right to appoint a fifth Framework Provider in accordance with the procurement documents. Call-Off Contracts may be awarded by: Direct Award where the requirement can be met by a Framework Provider based on the terms, rates and methodology established within the Framework Agreement. Direct Awards will be made using objective criteria set out within the Framework Agreement. Mini-Competition where the Contracting Authority considers further competition appropriate. Mini-Competitions may assess quality, price, social value, programme, resource proposals, methodology and other commission-specific criteria relevant to the requirement. Evaluation criteria and weightings will be specified in the Mini-Competition documentation. The rates submitted for admission to the Framework shall constitute maximum Framework rates. Framework Providers may offer reduced rates, enhanced service proposals and additional value when participating in Mini-Competitions but shall not exceed the rates established within the Framework Agreement except where expressly permitted under the Framework Agreement. The Framework does not guarantee any minimum volume or value of work. Call-Off Contracts will be awarded throughout the Framework term in accordance with the procedures set out in the Framework Agreement
