"description": "The Buyer may purchase items from the Framewrok Agreement via direct call-off or via a mini-competition. The Buyer reserves the right to conduct mini-competitions for any additional requirements over and above those listed under the Framework Agreement but which fall within the scope of the Framework Agreement, or for any requirements over the value of PS10,000 within a Lot during the period of the Framework Agreement. Any mini-competition will be based on 100% price, however there may be a requirement for additional mandatory criteria specific to each project, for example supply/installation by a specified time date. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no obligation on the Buyer to conduct a mini-competition for requirements in excess of PS10,000 within a Lot, however the Buyer may do this should they envisage a mini-competition could deliver better value for money."
