The Contractor will be asked to submit proposals including costs for specific work against a technical specification. The SPCB does not offer any guarantee as to the number or value of Call-Off Contracts which will be placed. The Contractor may decline to bid if the work is not of interest to them. - Mini-competitions may be run for any Call-Off Contract requirement, regardless of value. - The SPCB may also direct award Call-Off Contracts without competition only in cases where the value of the project is below 20,000 GBP. In this instance the SPCB shall directly award a Call-Off Contract to the highest ranked Contractor on the Framework following tender evaluation. Should the highest ranked Contractor not be able to meet the requirement then the SPCB may approach the second highest ranked Contractor and directly award a Call-Off Contract to them, and so on for all named Framework Providers.
