SUPC awards and manages Framework Agreements on behalf of its
members and the members of participating purchasing consortia. The
framework will be awarded for 36 months plus 1 option to extend by up to
12months. Spend through the existing SUPC agreement is approximately
50,000,000 GBP per annum. There is however no guaranteed level of
expenditure on this Agreement; the competitiveness, level of service offered,
and marketing effort of the chosen suppliers will be a large factor in
determining how many institutions support the Agreement.
The Framework Agreement is being tendered on behalf of members of the following purchasing organisations:
(the Participating Consortia):
— Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium (SUPC) http://www.supc.ac.uk/engage/our-members/ourmembers
— North East Universities Purchasing Consortium (NEUPC) http://www.neupc.ac.uk/our-members
— North West Universities Purchasing Consortium (NWUPC) http://www.nwupc.ac.uk/our-members
— London Universities Purchasing Consortium (LUPC) http://www.lupc.ac.uk/list-of-members.html
— Higher Education Purchasing Consortium Wales (HEPCW) http://www.hepcw.ac.uk/
(the members of such Participating Consortia, together with SUPC Members). Some institutions are not public bodies within the meaning of the PCR2015. They may advertise their contracts in the OJEU on a voluntary basis and without prejudice to their freedom to depart from the rules set out in the PCR2015. Their aim is to apply best practice and secure the best value outcome for the institution.
