Suppliers may bid for one or more lots. Appointment to the framework does not guarantee any volume of work. Contracts (call-offs) will be awarded to framework suppliers during the framework term in accordance with the framework call-off arrangements. Supplier selection may be undertaken through direct award, ranked selection, rotation, further competition, or urgent direct placement where justified by business need, specialist capability, candidate availability, safeguarding and compliance requirements, continuity of service, location, response time, price, or other objective factors relevant to the requirement. Pricing will be established through the tender process and will be based on the rates, margins and pricing schedules submitted by suppliers as part of their framework tender. Value for money will be assessed by considering price alongside quality, compliance assurance, service delivery, response capability, social value and operational resilience. Where a further competition is undertaken, framework suppliers within the relevant lot may be invited to submit requirement-specific pricing and delivery proposals, with award made to the supplier offering the most advantageous solution in accordance with the framework terms."
