Bidders must express an interest in this project at: https://intendhost.co.uk/supc.
The existing framework which is due to expire in May 2012 has an annual expenditure of over 13 200 000 million GBP per annum, across 5 suppliers. There can, however, be no guaranteed expenditure and the competitiveness and level of service offered in the resulting framework agreements will be a large factor in determining how many member institutions support the framework. Figures suggest that the HE sector expenditure on IT accessories and parts is greater than though many institutions use the current framework (nearly 200 institutions used the framework between August 2010 and July 2011). The ITRAP framework is mostly used by higher education members, though many other consortia members use it. The existing framework has had an increasing number of member institutions supporting it year on year.
Agreements will be for an initial period of 2 years with SUPC retaining options to extend by up to a further 2 years. This influences the estimated value of the framework overall. Institutions will call off from the framework in a variety of patterns. Such call off patterns will be agreed by the institutional head of purchasing. Some institutions will purchase from multiple suppliers, whereas others may commit to one. Institutions may use a form of further competition to facilitate call off decisions.
SUPC are looking for suppliers who will actively promote and market the agreement, and it is anticipated that 3 to 6 suppliers may be appointed to the Framework. The number of suppliers contracted will be decided following the evaluation of bids received. All agreements resulting from this tender should be made available to and apply to all current and future members of the participating consortia. They should also apply to any member of any other higher education (HE) or further education (FE) regional purchasing consortium or any other higher education institution in the United Kingdom providing that they formally commit to participate in and support this Framework. SUPC will only grant permission at the request of the consortium, or an institution if it is not a member of a Consortium.
Agreements will be based on open book accounting. The SUPC contract manager and participating institutions shall be allowed access to suppliers purchase orders / invoices to ensure contract compliance.
Mandatory requirements apply and are detailed in the pre-tender documentation. Bidders should read this documentation carefully before requesting and completing the tender documentation. Failure to comply with requirements for completion and submission of the tender response may result in the rejection of the tender. Bidders are advised therefore to acquaint themselves fully with the extent and nature of the tender and contractual obligations.
