Direct Award. The mechanism for Direct Award of a Call‐Off Contract contained in this Framework Agreement requires the Authority/OCB to apply the criteria, which were originally applied by the Authority when awarding the Framework Agreement. These will be set out at Section D of the Framework Agreement. It is permissible not to apply an award criterion if it is not relevant to the Call–Off Contract and have flexibility and discretion when applying the award criteria at Direct Award. The Authority will therefore make available to all OCBs accessing the Agreement the award criteria and each participating suppliers score. Re‐opening Competition Where not all of the terms laid down in the Framework Agreement are sufficiently specific for the OCB to make a Direct Award, a Call‐Off Contract can be awarded using a Mini‐Competition. When re‐opening competition in this way, it is important to understand this does not mean that basic terms can be renegotiated, or that the basic terms of the specification or statement of requirements used in setting up the Framework Agreement can be changed. It is more a matter of supplementing or refining the basic terms to reflect particular circumstances. The terms which may be refined include, but are not limited to, the following: particular delivery timescales; particular invoicing arrangements and payment profiles; additional security needs; incidental charges; particular associated services, e.g. installation, maintenance and training; particular mixes of quality systems and rates; particular mixes of rates and quality; where the terms include a price mechanism; Individual special terms (e.g. specific to the particular goods/services/goods and services that will be provided to meet a particular requirement under the Framework Agreement). When awarding a Call‐Off Contract using a Mini‐Competition, the Authority/OCB should generally use the criteria laid down by the Authority for the award of the Framework Agreement. If necessary, the award criteria used for the Mini‐Competition can be different to the original award criteria but they should be related. For Mini‐ Competitions it is possible for the Authority/OCB to vary the weightings given to each of the criteria provided this is set out clearly in the invitation to tender for the Mini‐Competition. The Mini‐Competition must include all Providers who have been admitted to the Framework Agreement, who are capable of performing the particular Call‐Off Contract. Often, this wi...
