Bodies accessing the framework shall be able to place Awards without re-opening competition and run further mini-completion using the methodologies outlined in the Invitation to Tender documentation. The successful Providers shall provide Water Hygiene Risk Assessments and planned control measures, and may be given the option to price some additional control measures. Planned control measures will include chlorination's and tank cleans, quarterly de-scales and bacterial monitoring and monthly temperature monitoring (where not undertaken directly by staff on the site).

The successful Providers shall provide Water Hygiene Risk Assessments and planned control measures, and may be given the option to price some additional control measures. Planned control measures will include chlorination's and tank cleans, quarterly de-scales and bacterial monitoring and monthly temperature monitoring (where not undertaken directly by staff on the site). The work for the framework agremment will be to a number of different property types including but not limited to; public administration offices, administration offices, libraries, day care centres, community centres, youth centres, residential and sheltered homes, children's' centres, farms, schools, transport depots and park and ride sites. Other bodies accessing the framework are expected to have similar requirements or shall at least highlight any differences when accessing the framework. It is essential that any Service Provider undertaking these works can demonstrate a separation between the Risk Assessment process and any control measures to ensure probity. Potential Providers are also asked to note that shall also be expected to service properties owned or managed by client no matter where the geographical location, an example of this is that Northamptonshire County Council have a property on border of Wales (Longtown Outdoor Centre, Herefordshire). This type of properties being serviced are the exception rather then the rule but providers shall still be expected to deliver the services as asked for by a client accessing the Framework. The Anticipated Estimated spend for this Framework Agreement is expected to be between £100,000 and £5,000,000 depending on the number of bodies accessing the Framework Agreement. The estimated spend figure for this framework is based on the potential usage for those expressing an interest but allowing sufficient spend should other eligible parties decide to utilise the framework. However no guarantees can be provided in regards to any use or potential spend.
