The framework enables the Authority to engage Harmony Fire Limited directly, as they are an approved and pre-qualified supplier with national coverage. A direct award is justified due to service continuity and efficient mobilisation, given their role as the incumbent supplier for our fire sprinkler system installations. This also reflects their top overall scoring position within the framework lot/workstream. This route to market has been reviewed and approved by the framework owner. This supplier already has a detailed knowledge of our property portfolio, including the systems and processes in place to facilitate a smooth transition of services to this new direct award call-off contract as a result of being our incumbent supplier for the installation of fire sprinkler systems. A contract that has been compliantly awarded gives us significant added value through agreed contractual terms and benefits from the economies of scale offered via the framework, along with reassurance that the awarded framework has tested the market and this supplier continues to be competitive as the top scoring supplier on the framework lot/workstream. The proposed duration of this call of contract is 2 years +1+1 at the sole discretion of the Authority and has a proposed value across the entire potential length of the contract of approximately PS1,300,000.
