Section six. Complementary information

six.3) Additional information

3.1 Services may be called off for some service elements and/or any combination of the business case stages attached and will be defined on a commission by commission basis by the organisation calling off from the Framework Agreement. This may be in the form of either;

(i) a direct award where there will be a cascade approach adopted. That is, that an order for the Services will always be awarded to the Framework Supplier that scored highest in the Authority's evaluation to appoint them to the Framework Agreement. If more than one Supplier is appointed to the Framework Agreement, the second highest scoring Framework Supplier will only be eligible to receive Orders for the Services if the highest scoring Framework Supplier cannot fulfill the requirements of the Order. This will be cascaded to the third, fourth highest scorer, etc. if the higher scorer is unable to fulfill the requirements of the order.

(ii) a mini competition between providers or, where determinable, the most economically advantageous offer based on the provider's submissions to this Framework Agreement
