For the majority of work the Supplier will be expected to begin work on site within 10 working days unless otherwise agreed with the Beat Forester/Contract Manager. However, when work is urgently required the Supplier must be able to attend the site within 4 hours, (24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays) and carry out any remedial works required. The Supplier will be expected to provide the service in accordance with the prices, delivery times and specifications agreed under this framework. If the Supplier ranked first for the Lot is unable to undertake the work, the Supplier ranked second for the Lot will be contacted and asked to agree to start the work within the timescales."
