Rotation allows selection of the next contractor on the list based upon qualitative criteria. The Client Selected process allows selection of a contractor based on the provision of a report that satisfies the requirements of the framework and a Clients internal governance. A tender price is then developed with the single framework contractor and any subsequent call-off contract is awarded.
