The highest scoring 3 tenderers (including the successful tenderer) for the principal designer contract have been admitted to the framework agreement, from which other design services required for the Project and general small scale design services may be called off from time to time by Portsmouth Water. The term of the framework agreement is eight (8) years, although the duration of individual call-off contracts may be shorter or longer. These call-offs may be in connection with the Project or Portsmouth Water’s business as usual activities.
No guarantee has been given that any such call-offs will be made and the framework agreement will not be exclusive. The total value of the framework agreement, if call-offs are made, is unlikely to exceed the amount set out in II.1.7 above. The figures provided in V.2.4 are for indicative purposes only.
