Association of North East Councils, trading as the North East Procurement Organisation (\"NEPO\"), is establishing a multi‑supplier, multi‑lot Framework Agreement for the provision of Office Supplies, Educational Supplies and Catering Disposables. The Framework will be accessible to Contracting Authorities throughout the United Kingdom.\nThe Framework is intended to support a wide range of requirements and encompasses, but is not limited to, the following categories of goods:\nGeneral Office Supplies\nElectronic Computer Consumables\nEducational Products\nPromotional Print Materials\nCatering Disposables\nLight Kitchen Equipment\nThe Framework incorporates Social Value commitments and provides robust governance, compliance and contract management arrangements. It offers a multi‑supplier solution that enables Contracting Authorities to employ flexible call‑off and award procedures, supported by suitably experienced suppliers.\nA NEPO Core List has been developed in collaboration with NEPO Member Authorities and comprises high‑demand items within the following Lots:\nLot 1: General Office Supplies\nLot 2: Electronic Computer Consumables\nLot 3: Educational Products\nLot 5: Catering Disposables\nLot 6: Light Kitchen Equipment\nA future‑proofing mechanism has been built into the Core List through annual reviews, ensuring it can be adapted to meet the evolving ordering requirements of Contracting Authorities. Items that are frequently purchased outside of the Core List (Non‑Core items) will be assessed and may be incorporated into the NEPO Core List. Conversely, items currently on the Core List that are no longer regularly ordered will also be reviewed and may be removed from the Core List accordingly.\nLot 4 - Promotional Print Materials has been structured to allow Contracting Authorities to specify their own bespoke requirements during call‑off. The Lot has been awarded on the basis of a pricing structure in which suppliers submitted a percentage cost‑plus margin applied to defined order‑value thresholds.\nThe successful suppliers have been appointed following completion of a single‑stage Open Procedure in accordance with PA23 Regulations.", "status": "complete", "procurementMethod": "open", "procurementMethodDetails": "Open procedure", "techniques": { "hasFrameworkAgreement": true }, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "status": "complete", "description": null }, { "id": "2", "status": "complete", "description": null }, { "id": "3", "status": "complete", "description": null }, { "id": "4", "status": "complete", "description": null }, { "id": "5", "status": "complete", "description": null }, { "id": "6", "status": "complete", "description": null } ] }, "bids": { "details": [ { "id": "1", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-00442696", "name": "LYRECO UK LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" ] }, { "id": "2", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-05510758", "name": "BANNER GROUP LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "1", "2", "4", "3" ] }, { "id": "3", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-07470615", "name": "HARROW BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "3" ] }, { "id": "4", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-03602082", "name": "ALLWAG PROMOTIONS LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "4" ] }, { "id": "5", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-00435445", "name": "HARLOW PRINTING LIMITED T/A HARLOW SOLUTIONS" } ], "relatedLots": [ "4" ] }, { "id": "6", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-06603739", "name": "TIGER GLOBAL LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "4" ] }, { "id": "7", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-04257001", "name": "G M PACKAGING (UK) LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "5" ] }, { "id": "8", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-03747333", "name": "ALLIANCE DISPOSABLES LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "6", "5" ] }, { "id": "9", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-01107210", "name": "PATTERSONS (BRISTOL) LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "6", "5" ] }, { "id": "10", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-08630100", "name": "TEQEX LTD" } ], "relatedLots": [ "1" ] }, { "id": "11", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-07197528", "name": "THOMAS STONER SUPPLIES LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "1", "2" ] }, { "id": "12", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-02276026", "name": "NATIONWIDE PAPER LIMITED" } ], "relatedLots": [ "1" ] }, { "id": "13", "status": "valid", "tenderers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-03100039", "name": "RM EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES LTD" } ], "relatedLots": [ "3" ] } ], "statistics": [ { "id": "1", "measure": "bids", "value": 5, "relatedLot": "1" }, { "id": "2", "measure": "bids", "value": 3, "relatedLot": "2" }, { "id": "3", "measure": "bids", "value": 4, "relatedLot": "3" }, { "id": "4", "measure": "bids", "value": 5, "relatedLot": "4" }, { "id": "5", "measure": "bids", "value": 4, "relatedLot": "5" }, { "id": "6", "measure": "bids", "value": 2, "relatedLot": "6" }, { "id": "7", "measure": "finalStageBids", "value": 5, "relatedLot": "1" }, { "id": "8", "measure": "smeFinalStageBids", "value": 3, "relatedLot": "1" }, { "id": "9", "measure": "vcseFinalStageBids", "value": 0, "relatedLot": "1" }, { "id": "10", "measure": "finalStageBids", "value": 3, "relatedLot": "2" }, { "id": "11", "measure": "smeFinalStageBids", "value": 1, "relatedLot": "2" }, { "id": "12", "measure": "vcseFinalStageBids", "value": 0, "relatedLot": "2" }, { "id": "13", "measure": "finalStageBids", "value": 4, "relatedLot": "3" }, { "id": "14", "measure": "smeFinalStageBids", "value": 1, "relatedLot": "3" }, { "id": "15", "measure": "vcseFinalStageBids", "value": 0, "relatedLot": "3" }, { "id": "16", "measure": "finalStageBids", "value": 5, "relatedLot": "4" }, { "id": "17", "measure": "smeFinalStageBids", "value": 3, "relatedLot": "4" }, { "id": "18", "measure": "vcseFinalStageBids", "value": 0, "relatedLot": "4" }, { "id": "19", "measure": "finalStageBids", "value": 4, "relatedLot": "5" }, { "id": "20", "measure": "smeFinalStageBids", "value": 2, "relatedLot": "5" }, { "id": "21", "measure": "vcseFinalStageBids", "value": 0, "relatedLot": "5" }, { "id": "22", "measure": "finalStageBids", "value": 2, "relatedLot": "6" }, { "id": "23", "measure": "smeFinalStageBids", "value": 1, "relatedLot": "6" }, { "id": "24", "measure": "vcseFinalStageBids", "value": 0, "relatedLot": "6" } ] }, "awards": [ { "id": "1", "title": "Lot 1 -
