Framework
An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.

Clarification questions
A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
Conditions of participation
What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
Bids are scored on
How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.

A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
Area (ITL)
The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.

Description

North Lanarkshire Council (the "Council") proposes to establish a Flexible Framework Agreement for the Provision of Education Services. . The Agreement is anticipated to commence in May 2027 for a period of 48 months (4 years). . The maximum value of the Agreement is 16,000,000 GPB. . Establishing this Agreement will continue the provision of a Flexible Framework for services that support the priorities and objectives of the Education and Families Service. The first generation of this Framework Agreement was established in December 2018, primarily to support activity funded through the Scottish Attainment Challenge (SAC) and Pupil Equity Funding (PEF). This Flexible Framework Agreement builds on that established approach, providing schools and the wider service with continued access to a flexible range of external services.
