Publisher note: Individual contracts (call-offs) awarded under this Framework Agreement (Lots 1 and 2) will be governed by the same terms and conditions as the Framework with specific instructions set out in the call-off work instruction. For both Lots 1 and 2, the Authority will use the following mechanisms to allocate (commission) work: a) Direct Award for prompt, regular, simple commissioning of Audits, allocating call-offs such that the total annual value of Work Orders offered to each Audit Provider is proportionate to the annual value of audits offered b) Mini-Competition: the Authority may seek to compete potential larger call-offs i.e. where the work instruction is estimated to represent more than 20% of the annual estimated value of Lots 1 or 2
