Publisher note: Procurement Scope The Contracting Authority expressly reserved the right (i) not to award any contract as a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of this notice; and (ii) to make whatever changes it saw fit to the content and structure of the tendering competition; and in no circumstances will the Contracting Authority be liable for any costs incurred by the candidates. The awarding of a place on the Procurement Outcome does not mean that there is any guarantee of subsequent contracts being awarded. Any expenditure, work or effort undertaken prior to contract award is accordingly a matter solely for the commercial judgement of potential suppliers. Any orders placed under this Procurement will form a separate contract under the scope of this Framework between the supplier and the specific requesting other contracting body. Any values that have been provided are only an estimate. We cannot guarantee to suppliers any business through this framework agreement.
