5.1.15 Techniques

Framework agreement :
Framework agreement, without reopening of competition
Maximum number of participants : 1
Justification for the duration of the framework agreement : The Contracting Authority intends to conclude a Framework Agreement for a period of two years. The Contracting Authority shall have unilateral rights to extend the Framework Agreement thrice for a duration of one year each. The Contracting Authority will notify the Contractor at least three months before expiry if the Contracting Authority does not wish to make use of an extension option. The total potential Agreement period thus exceeds the standard four years (article 2.140(2) of the Public Procurement Act). The underlying reasoning is that the main functionality of the TSO is to help reach Contracting Authority a specified milestone, namely the signing of an delivery contract with one of the Technology Suppliers. The current prognosis holds that this milestone will be reached within the standard four years of the framework agreement. However, inherent uncertainty in the timeframe for the completion of tasks prerequisite for reaching said milestone makes it desirable to account for up to one year of delay, to prevent the last minute necessity to switch advisors on the threshold of reaching the delivery contract milestone. Additionally, the proposed increase of the standard Framework Agreement term from four years to five years has been made considering that the NNB - NL is in its infancy and is now starting the transitioning from a project organisation within KGG to a SPV. The level of effort necessary to prepare itself to gear up to all of its statutory obligations, including forming a legal Owner-Operator, obtain regulatory approvals for licensing strategy, setting up a comprehensive lifecycle process for the LNPP design, licensing, procurement, delivery to site, construction, commissioning, operating and maintenance & finally decommissioning is very complex and is unchartered territory in the Netherlands in the last generation and hence may not be sufficiently progressed in four years’ time. Replacing the TSO-Contractor after four years would have a substantial negative impact and hence, in the TSO procurement planning process, this five year term is seen to be reasonable at this stage. If the maximum value is exceeded (or is threatened to be exceeded), the Contracting Authority has the right to unilaterally terminate the Framework Agreement without compensating the Contractor in any form whatsoever. See the provisions in article 2.4 of the draft Framework Agreement (annex 3b) in this regard.
