The Contractor shall be responsible for delivering the goods and services required by the Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority’s contractual relationship shall be with the Contractor only. Therefore, the Contractor shall be responsible for the contractual agreements with suitable Suppliers identified for the provision of good and services.

Delivery of Procurement Requirements - There is no ‘core’ activity, nor fixed/guaranteed throughput under this Contract. All requirements are to be considered ‘non-core’ and shall be raised on an ad-hoc basis in accordance with an Ad-Hoc Tasking Process, and each new requirement will constitute a Task. The Contractor shall only be allowed to apply a pre-agreed Service Fee on top of each quote received for each ad-hoc Task. This Service Fee may be adjusted through the term of the Contract in accordance with Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Incentives and Remedy Clauses.
