Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £9,500,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

The buyer expects to buy this again around July 2030.

What the notice says

Prior to the beginning of each contractual year the participating bodies will confirm the percentage blend they require for the coming year. This process will continue for each contractual year of the framework. The Buyer reserves the right to increase or decrease the blend of BioLPG on an annual basis. The anticipated commencement date shall be 1st February 2027 and expire on 31st January 2031.
