Under this framework no obligation whatsoever exists on any of these framework purchasers to award any contract. Contract awards will be a matter solely for the framework purchaser in question at any time over the life of the framework.
Prices submitted as part of this tender will be applicable to all Dublin local authorities as identified above. The uptake of services and the timing of same will be at the discretion of each of the aforementioned local authorities. No obligation will exist for any contract contracting authority to place orders through this contract.
No contract awarded pursuant to this Request For Tender will confer exclusivity to the Contractor where appointed.
Tenderers will be evaluated and ranked 1,2,3,4,5 (maximum of 5 tenderers will be admitted if 5 are found suitable) for framework membership. The Tenderer ranked 1 will have first option on all business for the duration of the framework agreement. If the 1st ranked tenderer is unable to meet requirements, the cascade method will be used – i.e. the 2nd ranked tenderer will be consulted, followed by 3rd and so on.
