Contracts awarded will be for periods of 3-5 years but the Council reserves the right to vary this. The Council will have the option, if intimated in the tender documents, to extend contracts beyond their original term. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Options: Variants and options which meet the minimum requirement(s) in a contract specification may be considered if submitted in addition to a compliant bid.

Renewal: After the end date of the DPS, no further contracts can be awarded. However, contracts awarded before the end date of the DPS may carry on beyond the end date of the DPS for a period of up to 24 months.
