The Council will identify the call-off route which best meets its requirements but retains the option to use either method. \nCall-off without competition - The provider ranked first for each Lot will be approached to confirm if they are able to meet the Council's timescales and confirm their costs to deliver the goods/services. If they are able to do so, they will be awarded the Call-Off Contract. \nFurther competition - All the providers for the relevant Lot of the framework will be invited to tender for the goods/services. Only those providers awarded under each Lot will be able to tender for competition within the individual lot."

"noEngagementNoticeRationale": "A well-established nature of the UK bedding plant and horticultural supply sector. The market is mature, with a wide range of capable suppliers both local and national who are familiar with the requirements of public sector contracts, particularly those involving seasonal bedding plants, compost, and horticultural sundries and who could undertake the work. Bedding plants remain a core category in garden centre sales, particularly during spring and early summer, with strong consumer demand driven by interest in seasonal colour and pollinator-friendly varieties."
