Where there is insufficient interest for a particular Call Off Contract under Lots 1f or 2f, the GFP Members/Authorised User may seek expressions of interest from the Framework Suppliers appointed to the corresponding regional Framework Lot. E.g., if the GFP Member/Authorised User wishes to award a contract under Lot 1f but considers there is insufficient interest for the contract from the suppliers appointed to that Lot it may seek expressions of interest from the suppliers appointed to Lot 2f. Whether there is \"insufficient interest\" for a contract will be determined by the GFP Member/Authorised User making the award, having regard to the requirements of it's own financial regulations and standing orders, and any other relevant matters. The framework is to operate across the whole of Scotland and will be open to the following organisations to access via an Access Agreement between the supplier, Abri and Pretium Frameworks Ltd, who GFP has appointed to administer the framework on its behalf. In addition to the GFP members, the following \"Authorised Users\" will be entitled to use this framework: (i) any entity within the same group of companies as a GFP Member from time to time; (ii) any Registered Social Landlord in Scotland from time to time, (including local authorities and Arm's Length Management Organisations) (iii) any other \"contracting authority\" in Scotland as defined in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015; and (iv) any supply chain member of a GFP member or of any of the above organisations. Note that the estimated values given in this Notice are estimates only. Actual values may vary depending on how many organisations decide to access and call off contracts under the Framework. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to cancel the procurement and not to proceed with all or any part of the Framework Agreement. The Contracting Authority will not, under any circumstances, reimburse any expense incurred by suppliers in participating in this procurement exercise or in preparing their tender submissions. In reference to Lot 1f and 2f, Bidders can only bid for Lot 1 or Lot 2, but not both.
