II.2.11) Information about options
Options:
Yes
Description of options:
The duration of the services is anticipated to be for five (5) years with the option to extend for up to three (3) years (2+1). Whilst ImageWise is conscious that the maximum term of a framework agreement awarded under the PCR is usually four years, exceptional circumstances apply in respect of the PACS service which justify the award of an eight-year framework. Substantial investments are required for acquiring the service and the extensive time will be required for the supplier to mobilise and implement a PACS service effectively. This extended timeframe ensures adequate return on investment and supports the stable, long-term operation necessary for successful deployment.
