ForViva intends to appoint no more than 5 providers to the Framework Agreement following this procurement process, subject to a receipt of a sufficient number of complete and compliant bids.
The session will include a presentation, question and answer session and also chance to meet lead officers working on the project.
It is intended that the Framework Agreement will be in place for a period of 4 years. During this period ForViva and the other entities that are entitled to use the Framework Agreement will retain the ability to procure services from outside the Framework Agreement and/or with providers who may not be party to the Framework Agreement.
Whilst the Framework Agreement will be in place for a maximum period of 4 years, bidders should note that individual contracts called-off under the Framework Agreement may be for a period of greater than 4 years so may continue beyond the 4 year term of the Framework Agreement.
The current estimated value of the services to be called off under the Framework Agreement is between 500 000,00 GBP and 2 000 000,00 GBP. However, providers should note that this is only estimate. This actual value may be higher or lower than this depending on how many entities decide to join and call-off under the Framework Agreement.
In the event of a group of providers submitting an acceptable offer it will be necessary to provide an undertaking that each company will be jointly and severally responsible for the due performance of any contracts awarded to such providers under the framework agreement.
