For the avoidance of all doubt, the maximum framework agreement term is 2 years, however contracts may be awarded which extend beyond the lifetime of the framework.
It is emphasised that a framework agreement constitutes no guarantee to purchase a specific quantity of services from a particular economic operator. Indeed, Dublin City Council reserves the right to operate outside of the framework agreement at its discretion, particularly should it become apparent that doing so would offer greater value for money.
