This Provider Panel is a flexible agreement where, at the sole discretion of the Council, it may open the Panel to allow additional providers to be added to its membership. However, at the discretion of the Council, the Panel may remain closed should commissioners deem there be sufficient panel members to meet demand.

The Council makes no guarantee to any member of the Panel that they will be awarded any Call-Off Contract and no guarantee is made in respect of any volume of work under any such agreements, or in aggregate under the Provider Panel.

Each Provider should understand that their submission constitutes an acceptance to the Council of the terms of the Provider Panel Agreement. A place on the Panel merely affords the Provider the opportunity to respond to an invitation from the Council for the provision of services (Call-Off).

The Provider Panel Agreement provides for no form of exclusivity or volume guarantee by the Council for Services from the Provider and that the Council is at all times entitled to enter into other contracts and agreements with other Providers for the provision of any Services.
