Call-off without competition (NOT available under LOT 7, the Mixed Requirement Lot):
'Calling-off' Goods and/or Services from a Supplier identified who is: a) included in the Framework; b) suitable for meeting the Customer's specific needs; c) delivers to the geographical region of the Customer, and; d) identified as offering the most advantageous solution to the Customer's requirements, based on the Framework pricing and the additional benefits offered by each Supplier.

'Calling-off' by conducting a further competitive selection process amongst those Suppliers identified in the Framework as being able to provide the required Goods / supply the required Services. Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the Framework.
Please note that once this Framework is established, the right is reserved by the Customer when running a further competitive selection process, to invite the Suppliers to participate in an eAuction.
Please refer to the tender documents for any further details.
ESPO Trading Limited Second Framework:
ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.
Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for tenderers information only.
