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.
The successful supplier will be responsible for the off-loading of the items at the receiving area as directed by Dublin City Council Parks Staff. Price tendered must include any costs in relation to this. Please note there will be at least five separate locations (see section 5 below) within the City boundary that the bulbs will have to be delivered to and off loaded.
