Description

The Council has a need for hoarding supply, installation and maintenance, alongside graphics design, printing and installation to support its portfolio of vacant development sites.  All works under this framework will fall within the West Northamptonshire Local Authority Area.

When ordering Services under the Framework Agreement from either lot, the Authority shall:
a. identify the relevant Lot which its Works/Services requirements fall into;
b. send an Order to the Framework Provider ranked highest following the evaluation of its Tender;
c. if the Framework Provider who was ranked highest is not able to provide the Works/Services, send an Order to the Framework Provider ranked next highest);

The framework is for the use of West Northamptonshire Council only.
There will be no guarantee of work or volume of work to be given under this contract for either of the lots.

Suppliers can tender for one or more lots.
