Under the Framework Agreement the Authority and each of its affiliates will have the option to call off contracts with individual Suppliers as and when works are required, though Suppliers should note that, under the Framework Agreement, neither the Authority nor its affiliates shall be under any obligation to the Framework.The Framework will also be available to joint ventures in which the Authority or any of its affiliates participates.

The intention is to separate the Framework Agreement into 3 Lots and appoint a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 7 contractors as Providers for each Lot. The Framework Agreement will provide a mechanism for issuing contracts on a call off basis but there is no guaranteed minimum value and no guaranteed minimum number of contracts that will be awarded to each Provider within the Framework.

The lots are divided on contract value:

Lot 1 Projects with a Value of 0 - 1million GBP

Lot 2 Projects with a Value of 1million - 3million GBP

Lot 3 Projects with a Value of over 3million GBP
