Call-off with competition (Further Competitive Selection Process) 'Calling-off' by conducting a further competitive selection process amongst those Suppliers identified in the Framework as being able to provide the required Goods / supply the required Services. This means that not all competitive selection processes will necessarily include all the Suppliers - a customer will only invite those Suppliers that are included in the Framework for the particular type and location of contract required. Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the Framework. Customers may seek to further compete any of the Lots and Sub-lots and may choose to run an exercise over several Lots and/or Sub-lots as applicable to the Customers requirements. An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call-off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement. Please refer to the tender documents for any further details. ESPO Trading Limited Second Framework: ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for tenderers information only.",
