The top 7 ranked tenders in each lot will be appointed to the Framework Agreement for that lot (provided there are sufficient suitable tenders; the Authority reserves the right to appoint less than 7 tenderers to any lot where less than 7 suitable tenders have been received). TII will not be liable for any participant’s costs arising in connection with participating in the competition, irrespective of the outcome of the competition, or if the competition is cancelled or postponed.

(iv) negotiate with one or more parties at any time;
(v) reject any, or all, of the applications/tenders;
(vi) not furnish a candidate or tenderer with additional information
or to do any combination of the foregoing or anything else deemed appropriate. In no instance will TII be required to give any reason for any alteration or termination of the process.
- If any past or future frameworks or other documents are summarised or described in this document, or in other information given to Candidates, the summary or description must not be taken as comprehensive, or as a substitute for reading the framework or other document itself when it becomes available.
