CHANGES TO CONTRACT No amendment to the provisions of this Contract, other than a change to the Services in accordance with the procedure and provisions set out at Clause 29, shall be effective unless made in accordance with the procedures set out in this Clause 28 (“Change Control Procedure”). Subject to Clause 29.1, either Party may request a contract change by completing and sending a draft Contract Change Note in the form set out at Schedule 1 (“the Contract Change Note”) to the other Party giving sufficient information to enable the other Party to assess the extent of the change and any additional cost that may be incurred. The Party requesting the contract change shall bear the costs of preparation of the Contract Change Note. The Party receiving the request for a contract change shall respond to the request within five (5) Working Days (or such other period as may be agreed by the Parties) and if applicable, the Parties shall enter into discussions to discuss the proposed change and neither Party shall unreasonably withhold or delay consent to the other Party’s proposed changes to this Contract. Where the Customer has proposed a contract change and the Supplier is unable to provide the change, including where the Parties are unable to agree a change to the Contract Charges, the Customer may terminate this Contract with immediate effect. Following execution of the final Contract Change Note, the Supplier shall implement such change and be bound by the same provisions so far as is applicable, as though such change was stated in this Contract.
SUB-CONTRACTING 31.1. The Authority approves the appointment of the sub-contractors specified in Schedule 10 (Approved Sub-contractors) in respect of the obligations specified in that Schedule.
31.2. The Contractor may not sub-contract its obligations under the Framework Agreement to other sub-contractors without the prior written consent of the Authority. Sub-contracting of any part of the Framework Agreement shall not relieve the Contractor of any obligation or duty attributable to the Contractor under the Framework Agreement. The Contractor shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its sub-contractors as though they are its own.
31.3. Where the Contractor enters into a sub-contract the Contractor must ensure that a provision is included which:
31.3.1. requires payment to be made of all sums due by the Contractor to the sub- contractor within a specified period not exceeding 30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice as defined by the sub-contract requirements and provides that, where the Authority has made payment to the Contractor in respect of Services and the sub-contractor’s invoice relates to such Services then, to that extent, the invoice must be treated as valid and, provided the Contractor is not exercising a right of retention or set-off in respect of a breach of contract by the sub-contractor or in respect of a sum otherwise due by the sub-contractor to the Contractor, payment must be made to the sub-contractor without deduction;
31.3.2. notifies the sub-contractor that the sub-contract forms part of a larger contract for the benefit of the Authority and that should the sub-contractor have any difficulty in securing the timely payment of an invoice, that matter may be referred by the sub- contractor to the Authority;
31.3.3. requires that all contracts with subcontractors and suppliers which the subcontractor intends to procure, and which the subcontractor has not before the date of this Framework Agreement, already planned to award to a particular supplier are advertised through the Public Contracts Scotland procurement portal (xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx) and awarded following a fair, open, transparent and competitive process proportionate to the nature and value of the contract; and
31.3.4. is in the same terms as that set out in this clause 31.3 (including for the avoidance of doubt this clause 31.3.4) subject only to modification to refer to the correct designation of the equivalent party as the Contractor and sub-contractor as the case may be.
31.4. The Contractor shall include in every sub-contract:
31.4.1 a right for the Contractor to terminate that sub-contract if the relevant sub- contractor fails to comply in the performance of its contract with legal obligations in the fields of environmental, social or employment law or if any of the termination events (involving substantial modification of the Contract, contract award despite the existence of exclusion grounds or a serious infringement of EU legal obligations) specified in clause 42.4 occur; and
31.4.2 a requirement that the sub-contractor includes a provision having the same effect as 31.4.1 in any sub-contract which it awards. In this Clause 31.4, ‘sub-contract’ means any contract between two or more contractors, at any stage of remoteness from the Authority in a sub-contracting chain, made wholly or substantially for the purpose of performing (or contributing to the performanace of) the whole or any part of this Framework Agreement.
31.5. Where requested by the Authority, copies of any sub-contract must be sent by the Contractor to the Authority as soon as reasonably practicable.
31.6. Where the Contractor proposes to enter into a sub-contract it must:
31.6.1 advertise its intention to do so in at least one trade journal, and the Public Contracts Scotland Portal; and
31.6.2 follow a procedure leading to the selection of the sub-contractor which ensures reasonable competition following principles of equal treatment, non-discrimination and transparency and which ensures that such procedure is accessible by small and medium enterprises.
Payment to Contractor The TOWN agrees to pay at the rates specified for SERVICES satisfactorily performed in accordance with this contract. Unless otherwise specified, the CONTRACTOR shall submit an itemized invoice to the TOWN by the end of the month during which SERVICES are performed. Payment will be processed promptly upon receipt and approval by the TOWN of the invoice.
Amendment to Contract Either party may request modification of the provisions of this Agreement by filing a Change Request with the Division. The Change Request must be submitted using the DOS Grants System at xxxxxxxxx.xxx. Changes that are agreed upon shall be valid only when amended in writing, signed by each of the parties and attached to the original of this Agreement. If changes are implemented without the Division’s written approval, the organization is subject to noncompliance, the grant award is subject to partial or complete refund to the State of Florida and this agreement is subject to termination.
Reference to Contract The contract number MUST appear on all invoices, packing lists, packages, and correspondence pertaining to the contract. If the number is not provided, the Department is not obligated to pay the invoice.
Entry into force and termination This Agreement and its amendments shall enter into force 60 days after the date the Parties exchange written notifications certifying that they have completed their respective legal requirements for its entry into force or after such other period as the Parties may agree in written notification. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it does not apply retroactively.
