The Framework was established under these procedures and they apply throughout the life of the Framework. Existing Framework Providers are also invited to submit improved Price and / or Quality and / or Social Value offers by which they might improve their ranking position on the lots for which they have already been accepted, and so become more competitive in those call-off procedures that involve the application of lot rankings. Existing Framework Providers may also apply to join the Framework in respect to any lot for which that they have not previously been accepted. The initial term of the Framework is 6 years and 6 months (i.e. 78 months), of which c. 60 months remains, the Framework being due to expire on 31st March 2031. The Council will have the option to extend the Framework for a further 3 year period beyond this date, until 31st March 2034. The estimated value of the Framework over the course of its lifetime was anticipated to be in the range of c.£27.50 million per annum (2023-24 prices).
