Common use of AWARD OF ASSIGNMENTS Clause in Contracts

AWARD OF ASSIGNMENTS. Multiple framework contracts shall be offered. For each lot a list of contractors shall be drawn up in descending order according to the number of marks obtained on the basis of the award criteria. This list determines the order in which work shall be placed (if the first contractor on the list is unable to execute the order for reasons that are not such as to entail termination of the contract or in the absence of a positive reply from that contractor, the authorising department may call on the second contractor, and so on down the list). An order form shall be issued once the Contractor has accepted the work. When the order is simultaneously proposed via the freelance portal to all the contractors in a lot, the order shall be awarded to the highest ranked contractor that expressed its availability within the deadline given. In exceptional cases, when a specific document is outsourced as a follow-up to a text previously translated by a given contractor, the Translation Centre reserves the right to award it to the same contractor regardless of the ranking, if a high degree of expertise and significant research, familiarisation with the subject and other efforts were required for the initial translation. This is done to ensure a high degree of quality and consistency.
