Duration in years: 10
Justification for a framework agreement, the duration of which exceeds four years:
The Framework Agreement will operate for a maximum period of 10 years. Given the nature of the service and the requirement to support a commercial environment with management of long-term relationships with clients of the Authority and matching service providers it is imperative to have consistency of service provision and thus a longer-term framework manages the risk for the Authority. In addition the service is classified as a service concession and therefore not subject to the requirements of Directive 2004/18/EC including duration rules on frameworks.

Range: between 500000 and 3000000 EUR
