EEM is seeking to set up a framework arrangement with those IT Resellers who have the widest and greatest spend with vendors across technology provision. As a result the framework is open to those IT Resllers who are more likely to have premium credentials and able to share some of the dealer incentives on from vendors. Bidders must submit their PSQ responses before 17:00hrs on 4th September 2026. All responses must be submitted through the https://metaprocurement.mytenders.co.uk/ The scope of this procurement is for IT Reseller suppliers, who have a minimum turnover of £200m per year. The themes, product and services are set out in the Scope and Specification (Page 19) of this document. EEM considers this framework will help: • enable EEM members, whether existing or future, and the wider public sector to call off services provided by IT Resellers in an efficient and compliant way. • provide better value to the buyer by creating a fairer and more efficient supply chain. • improve understanding and knowledge amongst buyers, creating a more vibrant marketplace. • support public sector buyers IT strategies enabling more aligned value propositions. The IT Reseller 2 Framework has been established to provide UK public sector organisations with a compliant, efficient and flexible route to market for IT products, software, cloud licensing and associated reseller services. The framework brings together experienced IT resellers capable of supplying a broad range of market leading technology products and services from multiple manufacturers. It has been designed to simplify procurement, improve commercial outcomes and provide customers with access to trusted suppliers through a single national framework. Recognising that public sector organisations have differing procurement requirements, governance arrangements and internal capability, the framework offers two compliant call-off options: 1. Framework Desktop Calculator – enabling customers to identify the supplier best able to meet their specific requirements using a transparent, objective and pre-defined selection methodology contained within the Framework Agreement. 2. Competitive Selection Process – enabling customers to undertake a further competition where they wish to evaluate supplier-specific solutions, delivery approaches or additional value. This approach provides customers with the flexibility to select the most appropriate procurement route while maintaining compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 and ensuring value for money, transparency and fairness. The framework supports a broad range of technology procurement requirements, including hardware, software, cloud subscriptions, licensing, peripherals and associated reseller services.

| Item | Category | Quantity |

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 72 | 6,977 | 1 median · 15.3 average (2,625 of 6,977 with a bid count) | 1.9 average (3,127 of 6,977 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 2 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 2,203 | 1 median · 32 average (738 of 2,203 with a bid count) | 2.8 average (944 of 2,203 with named award suppliers) | Not published |

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.

"description": "EEM is seeking to set up a framework arrangement with those IT Resellers who have the widest and greatest spend with vendors across technology provision. As a result the framework is open to those IT Resllers who are more likely to have premium credentials and able to share some of the dealer incentives on from vendors. \nBidders must submit their PSQ responses before 17:00hrs on 4th September 2026. All responses must be submitted through the https://metaprocurement.mytenders.co.uk/\nThe scope of this procurement is for IT Reseller suppliers, who have a minimum turnover of £200m per year. The themes, product and services are set out in the Scope and Specification (Page 19) of this document. EEM considers this framework will help: \n•\tenable EEM members, whether existing or future, and the wider public sector to call off services provided by IT Resellers in an efficient and compliant way. \n•\tprovide better value to the buyer by creating a fairer and more efficient supply chain. \n•\timprove understanding and knowledge amongst buyers, creating a more vibrant marketplace. \n•\tsupport public sector buyers IT strategies enabling more aligned value propositions. \nThe IT Reseller 2 Framework has been established to provide UK public sector organisations with a compliant, efficient and flexible route to market for IT products, software, cloud licensing and associated reseller services.\nThe framework brings together experienced IT resellers capable of supplying a broad range of market leading technology products and services from multiple manufacturers. It has been designed to simplify procurement, improve commercial outcomes and provide customers with access to trusted suppliers through a single national framework.\nRecognising that public sector organisations have differing procurement requirements, governance arrangements and internal capability, the framework offers two compliant call-off options:\n1.\tFramework Desktop Calculator – enabling customers to identify the supplier best able to meet their specific requirements using a transparent, objective and pre-defined selection methodology contained within the Framework Agreement. \n2.\tCompetitive Selection Process – enabling customers to undertake a further competition where they wish to evaluate supplier-specific solutions, delivery approaches or additional value. \nThis approach provides customers with the flexibility to select the most appropriate procurement route while maintaining compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 and ensuring value for money, transparency and fairness.\nThe framework supports a broad range of technology procurement requirements, including hardware, software, cloud subscriptions, licensing, peripherals and associated reseller services.
