Published description of the framework
Direct Call-Off will be the method of award for each participating organisation.

This means that a participating organisation would select products based on the information that has been provided that is the closest match to the clinical and operational requirements of the organisation. Where a participating organisation intends to call off the framework agreement by submission of an official purchase order, it may, depending on its particular requirements approach such framework participant as offers the best value for the particular requirements of the participating organisation for a particular item within the framework agreement. To determine whether or not a framework provider is able or capable of meeting a participating organisation’s specific requirements each participating organisation will consider their own requirements against information provided by the framework participant, which would include the requirements set out in the order of precedence below; -Lead Time -Volume Available against Requirement -Shelf Life -Price/Commercial Ranking Where information is requested by a participating organisation the framework supplier should reply within the timeframe requested which should not be shorter than 48 hours from the point the request was sent via electronic means. Where a Framework supplier does not respond within this period they may not be considered for call off on that occasion.
