From the published notice
Type
Open framework
Call-offs
call-offs may be awarded directly or by further competition
Bids received
4 bids on the busiest of 7 lots · 4 suppliers appointed
Framework period

4 yrs · up to 6 yrs from 1 Mar 2026, The market for respiratory protective equipment is stable. The liklihood of new suppliers entering the UK market who have the capability and products to meet the UK specific detailed requirements and UK specific Standards is extremely low.

Due to the stability of the market, there is an option to extend the Framework by up to two years providing that there have been no substantial changes in the supply market and that the Framework continues to meet the needs of the contracting authorities.

Substantial changes could include, amongst other things

  • new entrants to the market
  • suppliers who were previously unsuccessful in one or more Lots or who were unable to supply to one or more Lots at the time of tendering for this Framework who are subsequently capable of supplying those Goods and Services
  • technological advancements that cannot not otherwise covered by the Framework
  • changes to the detailed requirements that cannot be otherwise covered by the Framework.
