These meetings will inform providers of our intentions and what we hope to achieve, to ascertain what potential providers see as areas of risk, to discuss the specifications, contractual terms and what (if anything) would stop interested parties from applying. if you wish to make use of this opportunity you should request an appointment by registering on in-tend using the reference NCCT41317 and using the correspondence facility to email me with your contact details and I will contact you to arrange.
The Framework Agreement differs from those let under the non light touch regime in that the Council, exercising its flexibility, may let the framework agreements for longer than 4 years and may periodically open the framework for new applicants and/or new lots. The Council intends to let a Light Touch Regime Framework Agreements under Regulations 74 to 77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (Light Touch Regime), under which the Council has flexibility as to the processor procedure to be used when purchasing certain services of which this is 1.
