Legal Justification

The CEBS framework agreement is due to expire on Sunday 31 March 2024 and has no remaining options to extend the agreement beyond this date. While we cannot guarantee that further support services will be required, we consider a further extension to be prudent so that it can be used facilitate continued delivery of Services within the scope of the CEBS framework agreement in the event that those services become necessary before the establishment of new / replacement contracts.

Other Information

The maximum value quoted for each contract and Lot is the same as for the overall framework agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this is intended to reflect the absolute maximum that might be awarded to any framework supplier and / or through a Lot over the term of the framework agreement, including optional extension periods. Zero Waste Scotland does not commit to any minimum or maximum spend for any framework supplier or for any individual Lot - this will be determined through the appropriate call off processes. The cumulative value of all concluded call off contracts shall not exceed the maximum value of the framework agreement. (SC Ref:760615)
