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.

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.
