Who may buy through it

As a Centralised procurement authority as defined in the Procurement Act 2023, the Framework is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at www.espo.org/amfile/file/download… ↗) that also fall into one of the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: Local Authorities; Educational Establishments (including Academies); Central Government Departments and Agencies; Police, Fire & Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords; The Corporate Office of the House of Lords, The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons; or any public body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament. Details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas are available at: www.espo.org/legal ↗

Published description of the framework

The Framework could be used in a number of ways where Vehicle Charging Infrastructure are required. Customers wishing to buy Goods and/or Services via the Framework will do so in the following way(s) in accordance with section 45 of the Procurement Act 2023 (and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof):

Call-off without competition

'Calling-off' Goods and/or 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.

Pricing against the specifications contained in the pricing schedule submitted by suppliers will facilitate this, as would an overview of the Goods and/or Services and additional benefits offered by each supplier. This method of purchasing may be useful for customers who have already conducted due diligence checks on supplier offerings, engaged the market and can demonstrate that their chosen solution represents best value.

Call-off with competition (Further 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 Goods and/or 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 and location of contract required. Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the framework.

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.

All Goods and/or 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.

ESPO Trading Limited Second Framework:

ESPO 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.

Any 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.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “636_25 Vehicle Charging Infrastructure 3 (VCI 3)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
