Interested Suppliers should note that when the Framework is re-awarded, there will be no limit on the number of Suppliers who can be party to the Framework. As such, Suppliers that are appointed to the Framework under this Procurement will have the opportunity to confirm whether they wish to be re-appointed on the basis of their original tender, or whether they wish to submit a revised tender.
