The Economic Operators shall have the resources in place to attend any works required 24 hours per day, 365 days per year (366 days in a leap year) (including all holidays and weekends). They shall have significant flexibility and readily available multi-disciplinary resources to provide the contracting Authority with a rapid response and an ability to deal with emergency type works. The contract will be in place for a period of two years. The Contracting Authority has at its discretion the option to extend for a further one year period plus an additional one year period (2 year + 1 + 1), subject to demonstrable satisfactory performance by the Economic Operator within the terms and conditions stated in the Invitation to Tender documentation. The Contracting Authority is not under any obligation to award any call off contracts under the Framework Agreement. The Contracting Authority is not responsible for meeting any costs incurred by the Economic Operator should the value of any call off contracts awarded under the Framework Agreement fall short of Economic Operators’ expectations. The Contracting Authority reserves the right at any time to procure similar or identical work outside the Framework Agreement.
