Published description of the framework
The successful tenderer will be awarded a two-year framework agreement. There is no guarantee of order volume, and purchases will be made on an as-needed basis throughout the contract duration. Orders under the framework will be called off as required by GWR departments, with the supplier providing quotations and availability based on the framework pricing and agreed.

- “GWR Supply, delivery and installation Furniture for GWR estates” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
