CPC's current framework agreement for Building Materials is expiring in February 2027, and as a result, we are now beginning the process of engaging with the market to assist in the creation of the new iteration of the framework.

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
