VI.3) Additional information

In the event that the Contract is terminated prior to expiry of the proposed initial five (5) year

contract period, the University reserves the right (but shall not be obliged) in that instance

to offer the second ranked most economically advantageous tenderer from this Competition

(second ranked tenderer), the opportunity to enter into a replacement contract with the

University on the basis of the same contract terms, rather than undertaking a reprocurement exercise at that point. Any replacement contract entered into will be for the

remaining unexpired initial contract period, with the same ability for the University to extend

by a further period or periods of up to five (5) years.

Entry into any replacement contract with the second ranked tenderer shall be subject to that

second ranked tenderer鈥檚 offer (including its tender pricing) remaining unchanged from that

originally proposed at the tender return deadline. In the event that either: (a) the second

ranked tenderer is unable or unwilling to stand over its original tender offer to the University;

or (b) the second ranked tenderer is unable or unwilling to enter into a replacement contract

with the University on the basis of the same contract terms; or (c) the second ranked

tenderer declines the opportunity to enter into a replacement contract with the University

for any reason, then the University reserves the right to approach the next highest ranking

most economically advantageous tenderer from this Competition in turn on the same basis.

This process may, at the University鈥檚 discretion, continue until all ranked tenderers have

been exhausted or the University decides, at its sole discretion, to undertake a reprocurement exercise
