Direct Contracts awarded under the Framework are anticipated from £100,000 up to £20,000,000. We anticipate multiple contracts shall be awarded each year, for a duration of six years., Connect Plus recognises that in order to fulfil the fundamental principles of the DBFO Contract a fully embedded innovative and integrated supply chain is required which will work in a long-term relationship with Connect Plus and Connect Plus Services (CPS - the Employer's consultant), stakeholders and partners. , Connect Plus have identified that the following cross cutting principles need to be in place throughout its own organisation, Connect Plus Services and the supply chain: , • Leadership and direction , • Long term community relationships and integration (primarily between CP, CPS and the supply chain) , • Innovation and value , The DBFO Contract is a performance contract and Connect Plus's supply chain are expected to work within and develop a performance culture, where delivery of contractual commitments is continually measured. A balanced scorecard approach has been developed for the framework which forms the basis of the procurement evaluation model.
