Cascade – Where the Cascade method of drawdown is used to call-off the goods, the first ranked supplier for that Lot will be contacted to provide the required Goods. If the first ranked supplier is unable to provide the required goods, is unavailable to provide the goods within the set time limits or in the event of underperformance, the request to provide the goods will be automatically sent to the next ranked supplier, in descending order.
To award the Contract, the Framework Client/Contracting Authority shall issue/complete a Goods Contract and Confidentiality Agreement (See Appendix C) with the supplier.
Mini-competition – Where the Mini-competition method is used to call-off the goods, each Framework Member appointed to a Lot will receive a Supplementary Request for Tender (“SRFT”) to compete for the contract.
