Published description of the framework

The initial procurement process will determine both the make-up of the framework and the award of the initial contract under the framework.

The bidder who scores the highest total marks following the conclusion of the evaluation process will be awarded the initial contract, and the other high ranked bidders (the exact number at the discretion of Tate, likely no more than 6) will be awarded to the framework proper.
