Abstract

It is expected that this Framework will have multiple contractors to maximise efficiency savings for the purchasers, with a maximum of 60 contractors awarded a place on lot 1.

Services within this Framework have been categorised as either unscheduled or scheduled.

Unscheduled requirements are defined as the ad-hoc, unplanned and one-off needs of the purchasers. They will be fulfilled by the purchasers directly awarding services to contractors on the Framework.

Scheduled requirements are defined as the recurrent and planned needs of The Council. Scheduled requirements will, overall, be awarded following a further competition between contractors whose facilities and vehicle specifications most closely match the service requirements as identified at the time. It is envisaged that the benefits associated with scheduled contracts will allow contractors to improve on pricing. The Framework Period is for 24 months with 2 x 12-month extensions.
