Published description of the framework

This Framework Agreement will commence in August 2026 for an initial period of 24 months, expiring in August 2028, with the option to extend by up to 2x further 12-month periods, subject to satisfactory performance and mutual agreement.

Call-offs under the Framework Agreement shall be conducted through one of the following methods:

Mini-Competition,
Direct Award (by rotation), or
Desktop Exercise

All awards under the Framework shall be made in accordance with the one of three of the established call-off procedures.

For the avoidance of doubt,

Direct Award will be used routinely for straightforward or low-risk commissions
Mini-competitions are reserved for complex or higher-value work
Desktop exercises are used to respond to urgent or time critical needs. They do not remove the need for proper checks, records, or governance.
