[DescrProcurement]
Multi-Party Framework Agreement for Provision of Postal Services to Dublin City Council and, if required, to Fingal County Council, South Dublin County Council and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council. South Dublin County Council, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and Fingal County Council are named framework purchasers and any framework agreement or initial contract entered into pursuant to the framework agreement will be strictly between that local authority and the framework members. There is no obligation whatsoever on any of these local authorities to award any contract under the framework agreement. Such a decision will be a matter solely for the local authority in question.
Each of the Dublin Region Local Authorities may elect to participate within the framework at any stage within the framework timeframe. It should be noted that the duration of any contracts awarded during the lifetime of the framework may extend beyond the duration of the framework.
Dublin City Council will not be responsible for brokering an agreement between the successful framework member and the other Dublin Region Local Authorities should they decide to participate in the framework agreement. The participation of other Dublin Region Local Authorities, if required, will be initiated by their holding of a mini-tender competition between the successful Framework Members for an initial contract.
As the subject matter of this competition is considered as a Title III service within the context of Directive 2014/24/EU, where the choice of procedure is open to the Contracting Authority, the procedure chosen on this occasion is a Single Stage Procedure with Negotiation.
