Further information about fees
As a public body, ESPO have a statutory obligation to recover the costs incurred in the management of this Framework. This obligation is met by means of a Framework Fee which will be payable by the Suppliers to ESPO based on the total turnover of business conducted by them under the Framework.
The value of the Framework Fee shall be calculated as a percentage of the total value of business conducted by the Supplier under the Framework. Framework Fee payments will be plus VAT at the prevailing rate.
For further details, please refer to the tender documents.
Framework operation description
It should be noted that the Framework could be used in a number of ways where Estates Management Professional Services are required. Customers wishing to buy Estates Management Professional Services via the Framework will do so in the following way(s) in accordance with section 45 of the Procurement Act 2023 (and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof):
Call-off without competition
'Calling-off' Services from a Supplier identified who is: a) included in the Framework; b) suitable for meeting the Customer's needs; and, c) identified as offering the most advantageous solution to the Customer's requirements, based on Customers' supplier selection decisions.
Call-off with competition (Further Competitive Selection Process)
'Calling-off' by conducting a further competitive selection process amongst those Suppliers identified in the Framework as being able to supply the required Services. This means that not all competitive selection processes will necessarily include all the Suppliers - a customer will only invite those Suppliers that are included in the Framework for the particular type and location of contract required. Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the Framework.
Further competitive selection processes may be conducted directly by the Customer, or by ESPO, or by any other appropriate third party on the Customer's behalf. Please note that once this Framework is established, the right is reserved by the Customer when running a further competitive selection process, to invite the Suppliers to participate in an eAuction. Meetings with Suppliers, interviews, presentations and/or site visits may be required as part of the process at further competition stage as determined by the Customer.
Please refer to the tender documents for any further details.
ESPO Trading Limited Second Framework:
ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter in to an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.
Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for tenderers information only.
Award method when using the framework
Either with or without competition
