Lot 1 - Education Catering
Lot 2 - Social Care Catering
Lot 3 - Public Sector Catering
The contract has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period.
As part of the on-going contract management process, during the period of the Framework Agreement, ESPO shall monitor the financial stability of the awarded Service Providers during the period of the Framework Agreement by reference to credit rating agency reports. ESPO shall obtain a credit score for the Service Provider on or before the Framework start date as a base score and where a significant change in the credit score is identified over the life of the Framework Agreement, ESPO reserves the right to investigate the reasons for this significant change. Depending on the severity of the changes, it will be at the sole discretion of ESPO to suspend or even permanently remove the Service Provider from the Framework Agreement.
