NPL is seeking to appoint an agency for a 3 year period, with the option for NPL to extend the contract for up to two years, to be exercised as one year periods and confirmed in the last month of the third and fourth years as applicable. NPL shall be entitled to terminate the contract after 11 months on giving 30 calendar day's written notice to the agency if, in NPL's sole opinion, the agency has not performed to a satisfactory standard. This is a 2-stage awarding procedure. 80% score is available in stage 1 when responding to the tender (criteria in section 5 of this document) on the bravo e-tendering portal.
