Such future changes to HV assets and overhaul frequency may change the actual contract price, which may be higher or lower that the prices stated in the Supplier's Commercial Submission. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In the event that the Contract is terminated prior to expiry of the proposed initial three (3) year contract period, the University reserves the right (but shall not be obliged) in that instance to offer the second ranked most advantageous Supplier from this Competition (second ranked Supplier), the opportunity to enter into a replacement contract with the University on the basis of the same contract terms, rather than undertaking a reprocurement exercise at that point. Any replacement contract entered into will be for the remaining unexpired initial contract period, with the same ability for the University to extend by a further period or periods of up to 36 months. Entry into any replacement contract with the second ranked Supplier shall be subject to that second ranked Supplier's offer (including its tender pricing) remaining unchanged from that originally proposed at the tender return deadline. In the event that either: (a) the second ranked Supplier is unable or unwilling to stand over its original tender offer to the University; or (b) the second ranked Supplier is unable or unwilling to enter into a replacement contract with the University on the basis of the same contract terms; or (c) the second ranked Supplier declines the opportunity to enter into a replacement contract with the University for any reason, then the University reserves the right to approach the next highest ranking most advantageous Supplier from this Competition in turn on the same basis. This process may, at the University's discretion, continue until all ranked Suppliers have been exhausted or the University decides, at its sole discretion, to undertake a re-procurement exercise." } } ], "lotDetails": { "noLotsDivisionRationale": "The reason for not dividing into lots is uniformity to ensure one service provider is contracted for the provision of services at all campus locations.
