The Framework agreement allows potentially all Local Education Authority (LEA) schools to join. Thomas Tallis School is acting a central purchasing body conducting the procurement on behalf of itself and these other schools. The schools listed in the pricing documentation are intending to award call-off contracts on the establishment of the framework. The process will award two separate single-supplier framework agreements, one for primary & nursery schools and the other for secondary schools needs.

The Framework Terms and Conditions of contract that have been published alongside this notice in the Invitation To Tender (ITT) pack are subject to change before the ITT stage of this process commences.
