Procurement Act 2023

Open procedure

CPI will establish a Single supplier framework agreement, against which we will reserve the right to direct award without further competition. Suppliers will be in a ranked order of 1st, 2nd and 3rd etc. according to their scores against the evaluation criteria set out below. Pricing should be held throughout the duration of the framework. Should pricing not be held for the entirety of the framework duration. As and when we require goods we will confirm our requirements with the preferred (ranked 1st) supplier and place a Purchase Order. In the event that the 1st placed supplier cannot provide the goods required or meet the delivery timescale, CPI reserves the right to award outside of this framework. Where the 1st placed supplier has confirmed prior to a quote request (during the framework period) that they are unable to provide the specific requirement, either through their tender submission or through previous failed quote requests, then CPI reserves the right to directly approach the highest ranked supplier who has confirmed their ability to provide the specific requirement. Where availability and access to items changes, and previously unavailable products are made available, suppliers should notify CPI to enable consideration for the next requirement opportunity. In any event, no work should be started without an authorised purchase order and any work undertaken without an approved purchase order is at the supplier’s own risk and invoices received without an approved purchase order will not be paid. CPI cannot guarantee a minimum spend, volume call-off or exclusivity with any supplier appointment to provide goods and/or services under this tender.
