                "description": "The completed price schedules (Part C) will be used to evaluate and appoint Contractors on to the Framework and will form the basis of the EEM pricing for the commencement of the Framework (Framework Base Rates). All pricing submitted in Part C is deemed to be a ceiling rate, Contractors will be able to discount these rates based on volume and requirements of an individual Call Off Agreement but will not be able to increase rates. The only exception to this is where additional services or requirements are requested that are over above the original Framework specification. Members do not require separate prelims and Contractors will be asked to provide a cost inclusive of prelims. If separate prelims are required, this will be agreed and priced at the time of call off. EEM will require a commission fee for the works. This shall be added to the Part C - Price Schedule of Rates post-tender and should NOT be included within the submitted Part C - Price Schedule. The Contractors cost for the management and payment of the fee shall be included. The Framework Base Rates within the Price Framework (Part C) document will be fixed until for the first 12 months following the commencement date for the Framework. The rates shall be negotiated for each additional 12-month period. Negotiations will be based on evidence provided to support increased labour, material and overhead costs. A minimum of 30 days' notice must be provided to EEM before any increases can be applied to the Framework rates. Contractors will be required to submit a Price Change Request Form, one calendar month before the end of the current fixed priced period. Any proposed price change will apply to all schedules within your pricing schedule. Individual rates cannot but increased disproportionally, particularly where the intention is to correct deliberate low pricing within the original tender. Any price change requests agreed by EEM will be applied to your pricing schedules and will form the basis of any award without further competition (direct award) call off and set the ceiling rate for mini competitions for the next 12 months. Each Call Off Agreement will be awarded on the basis of fixed pricing for an initial agreed period. Thereafter, where the rates are in line with the EEM pricing schedule any changes accepted will be applied to the Call Off Agreement. Where the Call Off Agreement has been awarded following a mini competition, any requests for a price change must be in line with the terms agreed within the contract."
