"description": "The term of framework will be 2 years, with one option to extend by any period up to 2 Years. This framework will operate as below: For each Lot, up to 6 Suppliers will be placed on a ranked call-off list which will be used by the Buyer. These Suppliers will be ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th based on the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) being the 1st ranked. When a work package need arises in a Lot, the Supplier ranked 1st on the list will be given the opportunity to confirm that they can provide it at their contracted cost. The Supplier ranked 2nd will be required to deliver in the event of: 1. Supplier 1 having a Conflict of Interest or not having capacity to deliver the work package within the specified required timeframe and operational constraints set by Forest Service; or 2. Supplier 1 not accepting the offer of work for whatever reason, or not responding to the offer of work within 2 working days; or 3. Supplier 1 having been removed from the call-off list. The Supplier ranked 3rd will be required to deliver in the event of: 1. Supplier 2 having a Conflict of Interest or not having capacity to deliver the training within the specified required timeframe and operational constraints set by Forest Service; or 2. Supplier 2 not accepting the offer of work for whatever reason, or not responding to the offer of work within 2 working days: or 3. Supplier 2 having been removed from the call-off list. This process will continue until the list is exhausted. The next work package will again be offered to the Supplier ranked 1st even if they did not accept the previous assignment. Full Details on the Call-Off Procedure can be found in \"ID 6292545 - Terms and Conditions for Framework Arrangements\"."
