5 Awarded from November 2014, all three Agreements last for a period of 3 years, with an option to extend by an additional 12 months. However, contracts called off under the Framework Agreement may, where appropriate, continue beyond the 3 year term of the Framework Agreement. It is envisaged that the call-off contracts awarded to framework Consultants will last for a period of up to an initial 3 years, however, the contracts will provide the Employer with the opportunity to terminate or reduce the workload under specified circumstances and appoint other Consultants from the Framework Agreement using a direct selection or mini competition approach. 6. Who can use the Framework? Social Housing Providers in the UK (both those that are in existence now and those that may come into existence during the term of the Framework Agreement) are entitled to call-off contracts under the Framework Agreement. A Social Housing Provider for this purpose means any provider of social housing and includes Registered Providers (as listed on the Tenant Services Authority Website: Local Authorities and ALMOs. Applicants should note that, under the Framework Agreement, no organisation that is entitled to call off shall be under any obligation to do so, neither does the Social Housing Provider in question have the automatic right to do so without direct permission from The Hyde Group. 7. Framework Benefits There are a number of potential benefits to be achieved by using this Framework namely: The Framework has already carried out a tender process which is compliant with UK and European Procurement Law - thereby saving you valuable time and resources with greatly reduced procurement timescales. There is no need to advertise the requirements, and there are no minimum time periods within the process to which you must adhere. Consultants listed on the Framework agreements have already been assessed for their operational, technical and professional conformance and capabilities. Pre-agreed terms and conditions are imbedded into the Framework agreement.
