         Duration of the framework agreement:
            Duration in year(s): 6             
         Justification for a framework agreement the duration of which exceeds four years:
         The successful contractor will be expected to support contracting authorities throughout the UK in developing collaborative initiatives through this framework. This will include a focus on key strategic objectives including driving efficiencies through the entire supply chain, waste reduction, investing in local communities and providing long term training and job opportunities. In addition, contractors may be required to support contracting authorities with the delivery of long term strategic facilities management services including a total facilities management approach and also incur significant set up costs for providing certain elements of the work including capital investment and the long term costs of TUPE. The benefits of such initiatives and investment for both operators and contracting authorities will only be realised over the longer term. Feedback from consultation with the industry has also supported the view that a term longer than four years would be needed in order to realise a beneficial return on investment.
         Estimated total value of purchases for the entire duration of the framework agreement:
                                    
            Range between: 1,000,000,000 and 1,500,000,000

A key feature of this approach will be to develop a spirit of mutual trust and teamwork throughout the supply chain.

To achieve continuity in the availability of a framework arrangement, Scape will continually review future service requirements and capacity to determine when to carry out its next parallel tender exercise in the range stipulated.

If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations2006, as amended by the Public Contracts (Amendment) Regulations 2009 and the Public Procurement (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2011, set out the time frame within which aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of a breach of the rules may take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought within 30 days from the date when the economic operator in question first knew or ought to have known that grounds for the bringing of proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the 30 day period in a particular case if it considers that there is good reason for so doing, up to a period of 3 months from the actual or deemed date of knowledge of the economic operator. The Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or may order the Contracting Authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the framework agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness or may order that the duration of any relevant specific contract be shortened and additionally may award damages. The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally 30 days from notification of the award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending on the circumstances) or otherwise 6 months.
