Renewal Options

Where works have a value that falls within the overlap between the upper and lower value band for each geographical region, e.g., lot 1a and 1b, the Authorised user has the option to procure through either lot (i.e., to invite Framework Suppliers from either lot 1a or lot 1b) For all lots, where there is insufficient interest to an expression of interest for any potential call off, the Authorised User reserves the right to approach Framework Suppliers on the adjacent lot. For example, if an expression of interest is placed under lot 1a, and there is insufficient interest expressed by Framework Suppliers in that lot, the Authorised User can then access lot 2a as an alternative. The definition of 'insufficient interest' will vary by Authorised User but will generally be defined as a minimum of three Suppliers expressing an interest for a mini-competition.
