Call-off contracts awarded under this Framework will be made without further competition in accordance with Section 45(3)-(4) of the Procurement Act 2023. Supplier Ranking At the point of Framework award, suppliers will be ranked 1st, 2nd and 3rd based on their final evaluation scores in the original framework competition. This ranking will remain fixed for the full duration of the Framework. Direct Award Process/Highest Ranking For each requirement arising under the Framework, the highest-ranked supplier (Rank 1) will be offered the opportunity to deliver the call-off contract. If the Rank 1 supplier confirms they are unable to deliver (due to capacity, availability, or other reasonable grounds, to be documented by the business area), the business area may offer the requirement to the next-ranked supplier, and so on."
