These Suppliers will be ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th for Work area 1 and 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th for Work area 2 and 3 on the basis of the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) being the 1st ranked.\nWork will be allocated on a call off basis. For each Lot, the work package based on timescale and operational constraints will be awarded to the Supplier ranked 1st. The Supplier ranked 2nd will be required to deliver in the event of:\n1.\tSupplier 1 not having capacity to deliver the work package within the specified required timeframe and operational constraints set by Forest Service; or \n2.\tSupplier 1 not accepting the offer of work for whatever reason, or not responding to the offer of work within 2 working days; or\n3.\tSupplier 1 having been removed from the call-off list. \nThe Supplier ranked 3rd will be required to deliver in the event of: \n1.\tSupplier 2 having a Conflict of Interest or not having capacity to deliver the training within the specified required timeframe and operational constraints set by Forest Service; or\n2.\tSupplier 2 not accepting the offer of work for whatever reason, or not responding to the offer of work within 2 working days: or\n3.\tSupplier 2 having been removed from the call-off list. \nThis process will continue until the list is exhausted.
