In the event a supplier cannot fulfil the order or does not respond in time in accordance with the terms of the Framework Agreement, the order will be awarded to the next ranked supplier. For example, in the event the 1st ranked supplier does not respond or cannot fulfil the order, the 2nd ranked supplier will be approached for the award. Upon the orders being awarded to all of the suppliers based on the rotational system as described, the next award of an order shall revert to the 1st ranked supplier. Bidders must note that the rotational system shall always be subject to the distribution of care packages made with reference to the overall number care hours framework providers on the framework are currently delivering. The intention is to balance distribution of care hours across providers on the framework.",
