The successful supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Ltd on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.

Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only. — An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call-off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the framework agreement.
