The scope also includes, spare parts and services such as installation though it was not a mandatory requirement of the agreement that suppliers were able to provide these additional services.

The scope is the same for both Lots 1 and 2, with the two lots having different regional coverage. 

Advantageous pricing based on economies of scale from aggregated spend which is fixed for 12 months.

Access to services supporting the maintenance of assets and the compliant disposal of redundant assets through a variety of routes that maximise the higher tiers of the waste hierarchy. 

A single exercise to establish the overarching agreement and establish the Terms and Conditions of the Framework.

Reduced administrative effort and associated cost savings.

The development of a longer term relationship with suppliers which is mutually beneficial.

You have the ability to call off from the agreement as and when required rather than needing to undertake a full tender process.

The Framework allows for the flexibility to determine specific requirements at the call off stage.

Framework Agreements support longer term business planning as they span a period of typically four years and allow some stability from market fluctuations.

NWUPC and your Consortium will provide contract management support to you.
