3.4 TYPE OF CONTRACT
A framework agreement (FWA) is an agreement with a single supplier (or group of suppliers) to establish terms governing contracts that may be awarded during the period of the FWA. GOAL, as contracting authority, does not guarantee any volume of orders under FWAs as all purchases will be based on the needs and activities of GOAL.
The FWA will set prices for the FWA duration (initially for 1 year with the possibility to review on an annual basis up to a maximum of 3 years). Prices and the quality of the service received will be reviewed jointly on an annual basis by GOAL and framework suppliers to make sure it-s satisfactory and within current market value.
To participate in the FWA, respondents will need to be successful in this tender exercise. When an FWA is established with a supplier, the purchasing mechanism will be based on a Purchase Order - so when GOAL requires a supply or service provision, a Purchase Order will be sent to the supplier to contract each specific order and confirm terms. Each Purchase Order will be an individual contract based on the agreed terms in the FWA.
The winning tenderer(s) will be required to enter into a Framework Agreement with GOAL for a Social and Behaviour Change Communication Strategy Development on the conditions set out in Financial Offer to this ITT (Appendix 2) the GOAL Standard Terms and Conditions (Appendix 3) and other documents which form the Response Format.
In case of establishing a multi-supplier Framework Agreement the purchasing mechanism will be based on a rotation or priority system, with individual orders placed according to GOAL-s internal priorities at the time of order.
GOAL estimates that the expenditure on the Services to be covered by the proposed Framework Agreement may be €200, 000 per annum over the term of the framework agreement. Tenderers must understand that this figure is an estimate based on current and future expected usage. Tenderers should note that GOAL shall be under no obligation to purchase any minimum value of Services under this Framework Agreement.
