Description

This process is a new tendered area to the CPC framework portfolio. A feasibility study was completed in-house that looked at gaps in the current framework offering to determine what new opportunities were available. This study determined the proposed Lot structure for the framework, based on researching and identifying contract award notices posted on Contracts Finder, in each of the areas across the public sector, which are not part of CPC's current framework offering.

It is important that we put in place a framework that works for both our members and the suppliers who will subsequently gain a place on the agreement. Whilst we have put a proposal together for this new area, this preliminary market engagement exercise will help us to understand the industry and get a fuller picture, with the help of those who know it best i.e. you, the suppliers. All aspects of the subsequent procurement exercise that will form the framework agreement is up for discussion and open to suggestions for amendments.
