All services will be performed in accordance with the framework agreement and a delivery agreement executed in accordance with this agreement. There is no upper limit on commissions called-off under the framework, as long as they are within the scope of the overall framework value. For each Lot, SCAPE will shortlist the top five (5) highest scoring bidders at PSQ stage and invite them to tender.

Bidders may bid for up to 3 Lots and may be awarded places on up to 3 Lots.

The conflicts assessment will be updated and revised at each future stage of the procurement where appropriate, and action will be taken to remove or mitigate conflicts where any arise.
