        "description": "It should be noted that the Framework could be used in a number of ways where Managed Learning Services are required. Customers wishing to buy Managed Learning Services via the Framework will do so in the following ways in accordance with section 45 of the Procurement Act 2023 (and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof):\nCall-off without competition\n'Calling-off' Services from a Supplier identified who is a) included in the Framework, b) suitable for meeting the Customer's specific needs, and c) identified as offering the most advantageous solution to the Customer's requirements, based on Customers' supplier selection decisions.\nCall-off with competition (Further Competitive Selection Process)\n'Calling-off' by conducting a further competitive selection process amongst those Suppliers identified in the Framework as being able to provide the required Services. This means that not all competitive selection processes will necessarily include all the Suppliers. A customer will only invite those Suppliers that are included in the Framework for the particular type of contract required. Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the Framework.\nFurther competitive selection processes may be conducted directly by the Customer, or by ESPO, or by any other appropriate third party on the Customer's behalf. Please note that once this Framework is established, the right is reserved by the Customer when running a further competitive selection process, to invite the Suppliers to participate in an eAuction. Meetings with Suppliers, interviews, presentations and/or site visits may be required as part of the process at further competition stage as determined by the Customer.\nIMPORTANT: Suppliers will not be compelled to tender for all business offered via further competitive selection processes, and so declining to tender in such instances will not affect a Supplier's position on the Framework; however, it should be noted that persistent and repeated failure to tender may lead to a review of a Supplier's continued inclusion.\nWhen assessing proposals submitted under a further competitive selection process, Customers may include conditions of participation to assess Suppliers' technical ability to perform the contract as part of the competitive selection process as determined according to the Customer's own particular circumstances.\nAny assessment of Suppliers' proposals under a further competitive selection process must be based only on some or all of the award criteria that were used to assess tenders when the framework was awarded. Customers may refine these criteria, for example, by including additional sub-criteria or by explaining the criteria further.\nAll Services provided under the Framework will be provided and delivered directly to the Customers, in accordance with instructions given to the Supplier at the time of placing the order. Liability for payment of the Supplier's invoices will rest solely with the Customer, as appropriate in each case.\nESPO Trading Limited Second Framework:\nESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.\nAny Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for tenderers information only.",

        "description": "It should be noted that the Framework could be used in a number of ways where Managed Learning Services are required. Customers wishing to buy Managed Learning Services via the Framework will do so in the following ways in accordance with section 45 of the Procurement Act 2023 (and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof):\n* Call-off without competition - 'calling-off' Services from a Supplier identified who is a) included in the Framework, b) suitable for meeting the Customer's specific needs, and c) identified as offering the most advantageous solution to the Customer's requirements, based on source(s) of information for Customers' supplier selection decisions.\n* Call-off with competition (Competitive Selection Process) - 'calling-off' by conducting a further competitive selection process amongst those Suppliers identified in the Framework as being able to provide the required Services. This means that not all competitive selection processes will necessarily include all the Suppliers. A customer will only invite those Suppliers that are included in the Framework for the particular type of contract required. Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the Framework.\nFurther competitive selection processes may be conducted directly by the Customer, or by ESPO, or by any other appropriate third party on the Customer's behalf. Please note that once this Framework is established, the right is reserved by the Customer when running a further competitive selection process, to invite the Suppliers to participate in an eAuction. Meetings with Suppliers, interviews, presentations and/or site visits may be required as part of the process at further competition stage as determined by the Customer.\nIMPORTANT: Suppliers will not be compelled to tender for all business offered via further competitive selection processes, and so declining to tender in such instances will not affect a Supplier's position on the Framework; however, it should be noted that persistent and repeated failure to tender may lead to a review of a Supplier's continued inclusion.\nWhen assessing proposals submitted under a further competitive selection process, Customers may include conditions of participation to assess Suppliers' technical ability to perform the contract as part of the competitive selection process as determined according to the Customer's own particular circumstances.\nAny assessment of Suppliers' proposals under a further competitive selection process must be based only on some or all of the award criteria that were used to assess tenders when the framework was awarded. Customers may refine these criteria, for example, by including additional sub-criteria or by explaining the criteria further.\nAll Services provided under the Framework will be provided and delivered directly to the Customers, in accordance with instructions given to the Supplier at the time of placing the order. Liability for payment of the Supplier's invoices will rest solely with the Customer, as appropriate in each case.\nESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.\nAny Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for tenderers information only.",

Customers wishing to buy Managed Learning Services via the Framework will do so in the following ways in accordance with section 45 of the Procurement Act 2023 (and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof):\n* Call-off without competition - 'calling-off' Services from a Supplier identified who is a) included in the Framework, b) suitable for meeting the Customer's specific needs, and c) identified as offering the most advantageous solution to the Customer's requirements, based on source(s) of information for Customers' supplier selection decisions.\n* Call-off with competition (Competitive Selection Process) - 'calling-off' by conducting a further competitive selection process amongst those Suppliers identified in the Framework as being able to provide the required Services. This means that not all competitive selection processes will necessarily include all the Suppliers. A customer will only invite those Suppliers that are included in the Framework for the particular type of contract required. Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the Framework.\nFurther competitive selection processes may be conducted directly by the Customer, or by ESPO, or by any other appropriate third party on the Customer's behalf. Please note that once this Framework is established, the right is reserved by the Customer when running a further competitive selection process, to invite the Suppliers to participate in an eAuction. Meetings with Suppliers, interviews, presentations and/or site visits may be required as part of the process at further competition stage as determined by the Customer. \nIMPORTANT: Suppliers will not be compelled to tender for all business offered via further competitive selection processes, and so declining to tender in such instances will not affect a Supplier's position on the Framework; however, it should be noted that persistent and repeated failure to tender may lead to a review of a Supplier's continued inclusion.\nWhen assessing proposals submitted under a further competitive selection process, Customers may include conditions of participation to assess Suppliers' technical ability to perform the contract as part of the competitive selection process as determined according to the Customer's own particular circumstances.\nAny assessment of Suppliers' proposals under a further competitive selection process must be based only on some or all of the award criteria that were used to assess tenders when the framework was awarded. Customers may refine these criteria, for example, by including additional sub-criteria or by explaining the criteria further.\nAll Services provided under the Framework will be provided and delivered directly to the Customers, in accordance with instructions given to the Supplier at the time of placing the order. Liability for payment of the Supplier's invoices will rest solely with the Customer, as appropriate in each case.\nESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.\nAny Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for tenderers information only.",

Tender Submission deadlines cannot be extended to allow for late supplier registrations to the CDP. Tenderers should be aware that CDP registration could be a prolonged process. How to register on the CDP can be found using the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-act-2023-short-guides/suppliers-how-to-register-your-organisation-and-first-administrator-on-find-a-tender-in-three-easy-steps-html \nThe Request for Information (RFI) documents are available on the 'EastMidsTenders' Procurement Portal and the submission deadline is 18th April 2025 at 12.00 noon. Suppliers wishing to participate must first register interest for 383_25 on the Portal found using the following link: https://procontract.due-north.com/Register  \nThe RFI will be made available within a public message on the portal and suppliers should follow the instructions for completing the RFI as shown within the public message and within the RFI itself. \nAs part of this exercise ESPO has established two RFI questionnaires to inform our exercise:\n     •\tRfI Questionnaire 1 Managed Training Services\n     •\tRfI Questionnaire 2 Learning Management System\nSuppliers will be engaged with to determine:\n• If there have been any changes or developments within the market,\n• Feedback on ESPO's proposed procurement methodology,\n• Any potential risks within the market etc.\n• Feedback on our proposed procurement strategy\nFollowing on from the RFI exercise, individual 1-2-1 preliminary market engagement meetings will be held with suppliers, that meet the required criteria for the lot, to gain further information on points raised within the responses to the RFI. \nRequired criteria.\nLot 1 - Managed Training Services is the provision of a complete service in relation to all (or the majority) of the customer's training requirements. This type of service provision is where a single Managed Service Provider (MSP) takes responsibility for the customer's training by managing a supply chain of training suppliers as opposed to the customer managing a selection of individual training suppliers themselves.\nLot 2 - Learning Management Systems (LMS) allows for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of training requirements. This type of service provision is where the customer will use the LMS to administer, document, track and report on the training within its organisation.\nPreliminary market engagement meetings will take place between 28/04/2025 and 02/05/2025. \nIt is anticipated that suppliers taking part in the preliminary market engagement will not be put at an unfair advantage when bidding for this framework. For the avoidance of doubt, those not participating in the engagement piece will still be able to tender for the framework and it will not mean they are excluded from tendering. \nA record of the information shared and received as part of the preliminary market engagement will be kept ensuring that the information gathered is considered in the procurement. An anonymised summary of the information/outcomes will also be shared with other parties and used to help ensure that participating suppliers are not unfairly advantaged."
