The Contractor shall send annual figures to the Council, who will then raise an invoice to the Contractor requesting payment. The Contractor shall quote the Framework Agreement reference number CS27631 on all correspondence clearly stating the period the payment relates to. Supporting documentation should be included to show the value of sales against which rebate has been calculated. A retrospective payment will be applied to all Orders placed in each year of the Framework Period. The value of the rebate shall be calculated as a percentage of the net value of Orders, irrespective of the origin of the Order. The Contractor shall make payment of the rebate to the Council or to such other person as the Council directs, within 30 days of receipt of a valid invoice for the rebate. Any disputes relating to the rebate value shall be resolved between the Council and the Contractor. For the avoidance of doubt the rebate shall be payable on individual Orders and will continue to be payable for the full term of each Order and any extensions thereto. Without prejudice to any other remedies available, the Council reserves the right to recover from the Contractor any reasonable administration charges incurred in pursuing unpaid rebates. The Council shall also be entitled to charge interest on all outstanding rebates at a rate of 2% above the base lending rate of National Westminster Bank Plc. If any rebate shall be unpaid for a period of 3 months the Council shall be permitted to terminate the Framework Agreement forthwith on giving notice in writing to the Contractor. In the event that any of the appointed Contractors goes into receivership during the course of this Framework Agreement the Council reserves the right to set off any accrued rebate against any outstanding invoices. The Council will request that each Contracting Authority will endeavour to have their Order annotated with the relevant Framework Agreement reference number, but this cannot be guaranteed on all Orders."
