Request ID: FOI-3243-2223 Date published: 28 March 2023
You asked
Hello,
I would like to make a freedom of information request.
I am doing a research project investigating call-off contracts in the public sector. I have identified a potential call-off contract awarded by Transport for London, but I can't find details of the framework agreement it was awarded from.
I have attached an Excel file that contains the information I am looking at. The last two columns ("Title of framework used" and "Contracts Finder or TED link of framework agreement") is where I am missing information - please could you fill these in.
Please note that I have identified this contract as a possible call-off contract, so there is a chance it is not a call-off. It could be, for instance, procured directly (without being called off from a framework agreement), or could be itself a notice of the establishment of a framework agreement. Therefore I would kindly ask you to specify in this instance what kind of procurement was used in the "Title of framework used" column.
I have provided the title, description, details of the email contact from the notice, the publication date, and procedure type used to award the potential call-off, as well as a URL link to the call-off in question and a unique reference ID for the potential call-off. Please let me know if there is anything else you need to complete the request.
Thank you very much in advance
