The framework agreement is divided into six lots covering specific goods/services and the University envisage appointing up to three service providers in each lot although the University reserves the right to vary this number. Tenderers can bid for one or more lots. Further information on each of the lots is given in the Tender Specification in Section 2 of the invitation to tender (ITT).
The University will call-off pieces of work under the framework either by:
Directly awarding the work to one of the framework service providers without reopening competition or by carrying out a further competition with the framework services providers in the given lot to which the work relates.
The University will take into account the quantity, value and characteristics of the goods and/or services required when determining the method of call-off for a given piece of work. The choice of the method of call-off will be down to the sole discretion of the University after taking into account these factors.
Tenderers remain responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by them or by any third party acting under instructions from the Tenderer in connection with taking part in this procurement, regardless of whether such costs arise as a direct or indirect consequence of any amendments made to the procurement documents by the University at any time. The SEND, SIH and Business Bridge projects are part-funded from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds England Growth Programme 2014-2020 and other Funding partners. The marketing and events services required for these projects are also part funded by ERDF.
