    "description": "There is no fixed number of Providers who may be awarded participation on the Flexible Framework Agreement. In accordance with Regulations 20 (7) and 20 (8) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, Scotland Excel may, where it is considered necessary, impose conditions for the performance of the contract by a group of economic operators which are different from those imposed on individual participants (for example Scotland Excel may require the group of economic operators to be jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract), and may require groups of economic operators to assume a specific legal form for the purposes of the award of the contract. The Flexible Framework Agreement has now been established and remains open for admission by new providers throughout its duration. Full details of the requirements of this Flexible Framework Agreement (including permitted variations and contract conditions) are available in the Procurement Documents within the relevant project on PCS-T.
