The Council makes no guarantee to any member of the Panel that they will be awarded any Call-Off Contract and no guarantee is made in respect of any volume of work under any such agreements, or in aggregate under the Provider Panel. Each Provider should understand that their submission constitutes an acceptance to the Council of the terms of the Provider Panel Agreement.

The Provider Panel Agreement provides for no form of exclusivity or volume guarantee by the Council for Services from the Provider and that the Council is at all times entitled to enter into other contracts and agreements with other Providers for the provision of any Services.
