Section IV: Procedure
Section VI: Complementary information
Direct: It is intended that end users of this framework agreement apply the terms (to be confirmed on award). Each lot will be ranked to indicate the most economically advantageous tender as evaluated against the award criteria. In each lot, therefore, the highest scoring bid will be deemed to be the most economically advantageous tender and therefore be the first supplier to be contacted for this lot (please see tender documentation for details).
In acknowledgement of the fact that the circumstances of a call-off may differ from that of the award of this framework in certain very specific cases, the end user may vary the weightings for the award criteria (please see tender documentation for details).
Each product line in the ITT will be treated as an individual lot. Further information will be provided when the ITT is published.
