Tendered rates will apply nationally to all Framework users, ensuring consistency, transparency, and cost certainty across Contracting Authorities.\nThe Framework is a sole - supplier arrangement and will be accessed exclusively via Direct Award. Call-off contracts may be awarded at any point during the Framework term, with Contracting Authorities accessing the services on the pre-agreed terms, conditions, and pricing established through the Tender process.",
