Description

THIS IS NOT A TENDERING OPPORTUNITY. Carmarthenshire County Council has commissioned Suppliers on a framework basis, to supply Print and Promotional Signage Materials and Services. The Open Framework will operate for a maximum term of eight (8) years from the Commencement Date. Following the reopening of the Framework in the third year, the Council reserves the right, at its discretion, to reopen the Framework to admit new suppliers for the remainder of the original eight-year term. Such reopening may occur in circumstances such as when existing suppliers leave the Framework, are unable to meet requirements, responding to market changes or innovations, and encouraging SME participation, or where reopening is deemed necessary to maintain competition and value for money. Any reopening constitutes a renewal of participation for the remaining duration of the original term and does not extend or reset the eight-year limit (in accordance with section 49(2)(c) of the Act). Please note that the figure for the estimated spend in each lot, is the anticipated total value of the Framework as a whole, over 8 years. As this is a framework arrangement, the values of potential spend for each individual lot cannot be specified.
