    "description": "PLEASE NOTE - there are 91 lots for this Framework. Due to technical difficulties the notice has been populated as 3 lots (Lots 1-46, Lots 47-90 and Lot 91). Some CPV codes to not apply to all Lots (eg. Pearls and Enamels and Glazing do not apply to all lots - details can be found in Attachment 6 Specification and Technical Specifications).\nThis procurement is being undertaken by Cabinet Office ('the Authority') on behalf of the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood ('CCOK' 'Buyer') to establish a series of frameworks for the provision of medals and insignia, which form part of the UK state honours system.\nCCOK administers UK state honours, this includes the organisation of investitures, acting as the custodian of state insignia and overseeing the day to day administration of the Orders of Chivalry. The majority of honours are awarded on the advice of Cabinet Office, including MBEs, OBEs and CBEs. CCOK was established in 1904 by King Edward VII in response to changes to the administration of the honours system.\nThis framework opportunity includes 91 Lots.\nThe Authority intends to award a framework agreement to the highest scoring supplier, i.e. the most advantageous tenderer, for each of the lots 1 - 90, as preferred supplier ('PS'). The Buyer intends to enter into a call-off contract on a direct award basis, pursuant to the framework, for its requirements under that particular lot with the PS.\nThe Authority will also award a framework agreement to the second and third highest scoring suppliers as first tier contingency supplier ('FTCS') and reserve contingency supplier ('RCS') for each of the lots 1 - 90 who may be offered an opportunity to deliver under the framework in exceptional circumstances (please see the procurement documents for the exceptional circumstances).\nSuppliers appointed to any of the lots 1 - 90 in PS, FTCS or RCS capacity will automatically be appointed to lot 91 and will have an opportunity to participate in further competitions pursuant to lot 91, as and when those lot 91 requirements arise. Note, there is no specification for lot 91 (please see the procurement documents for the lot 1 - 90 technical specifications).\nThere are no restrictions on the volume of lots that you may seek appointment to, although the Authority will award the lots in accordance with the Authority's lot allocation rules, where restrictions apply (please see the procurement documents for the lot allocation rules).\nThis is to ensure continuity of supply and to ensure that the potential barriers faced by small and medium enterprises ('SMEs') are reduced to ensure SMEs can access the procurement and the requirements.\nThe Authority is adopting a multi stage competitive flexible procedure ('CFP') process pursuant to section 20(2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023 and is inviting suppliers to submit a request to participate response.\nPlease note the Authority and /or Buyer (as the case may be) reserves the right to obtain additional or repeat goods / services from an existing supplier similar to the goods / services procured in accordance with this procurement / tender notice pursuant to Paragraph 8 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023\nSuppliers wishing to access the procurement documents and submit a request to participate response must first register on the Jaggaer eSourcing Tool using the following link https://crowncommercialservice.bravosolution.co.uk.",

Some CPV codes to not apply to all Lots (eg. Pearls and Enamels and Glazing do not apply to all lots - details can be found in Attachment 6 Specification and Technical Specifications).\nThis procurement is being undertaken by Cabinet Office ('the Authority') on behalf of the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood ('CCOK' 'Buyer') to establish a series of frameworks for the provision of medals and insignia, which form part of the UK state honours system.\nCCOK administers UK state honours, this includes the organisation of investitures, acting as the custodian of state insignia and overseeing the day to day administration of the Orders of Chivalry. The majority of honours are awarded on the advice of Cabinet Office, including MBEs, OBEs and CBEs. CCOK was established in 1904 by King Edward VII in response to changes to the administration of the honours system.\nThis framework opportunity includes 91 Lots. \nThe Authority intends to award a framework agreement to the highest scoring supplier, i.e. the most advantageous tenderer, for each of the lots 1 - 90, as preferred supplier ('PS'). The Buyer intends to enter into a call-off contract on a direct award basis, pursuant to the framework, for its requirements under that particular lot with the PS.\nThe Authority will also award a framework agreement to the second and third highest scoring suppliers as first tier contingency supplier ('FTCS') and reserve contingency supplier ('RCS') for each of the lots 1 - 90 who may be offered an opportunity to deliver under the framework in exceptional circumstances (please see the procurement documents for the exceptional circumstances).\nSuppliers appointed to any of the lots 1 - 90 in PS, FTCS or RCS capacity will automatically be appointed to lot 91 and will have an opportunity to participate in further competitions pursuant to lot 91, as and when those lot 91 requirements arise. Note, there is no specification for lot 91 (please see the procurement documents for the lot 1 - 90 technical specifications).\nThere are no restrictions on the volume of lots that you may seek appointment to, although the Authority will award the lots in accordance with the Authority's lot allocation rules, where restrictions apply (please see the procurement documents for the lot allocation rules).  \nThis is to ensure continuity of supply and to ensure that the potential barriers faced by small and medium enterprises ('SMEs') are reduced to ensure SMEs can access the procurement and the requirements.\nThe Authority is adopting a multi stage competitive flexible procedure ('CFP') process pursuant to section 20(2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023 and is inviting suppliers to submit a request to participate response.\nPlease note the Authority and /or Buyer (as the case may be) reserves the right to obtain additional or repeat goods / services from an existing supplier similar to the goods / services procured in accordance with this procurement / tender notice pursuant to Paragraph 8 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023\nSuppliers wishing to access the procurement documents and submit a request to participate response must first register on the Jaggaer eSourcing Tool using the following link https://crowncommercialservice.bravosolution.co.uk.",

CCOK is required to purchase and retain a stock of insignia and medals for presentation normally following the publication of the two main honours lists (King's Birthday and New Year).\nThe State Honours system sees the formal recognition of individuals who have performed notable and worthy things, with Medals and Insignia providing a visible token of thanks and gratitude from a grateful Nation. CCOK places an annual medals and insignia order (typically September/October), for delivery not before 1 April the following year. This provides the stock required for one year, but may be topped up on a small ad hoc basis.\nRequirements\nThe requirements can be summarised as:\n-Provision of high-quality medals and insignia, including ribbons, boxes.\n-Management of appropriate quality control procedures, including defect and repair procedures.\n-Management and resolution of all buyer queries.\n-Management of the supply chain.\n-Provision of Management Information and reporting on spend and buyer activity.\nIt is expected that some 90 types of medals or insignia will be required.  Further information on key items can be found in the Planned Procurement Notice, which includes technical specifications for all medals and insignia required.\nThe intended procurement exercise will provide requirements from April 2026 (once orders are placed around September/October 2025).  Based on past experience and future estimates we expect the total value across all suppliers to be approximately £3,800,000 excluding VAT throughout the duration of the framework.\nOur Ask\nWe are currently planning and designing the procurement strategy and processes and it would be very useful to understand potential suppliers' views on these.  We therefore wish to undertake a Preliminary Market Engagement exercise in accordance with Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023.\nA questionnaire was attached in the Planned Procurement Notice, published on 30th April 2025. We would be very grateful if you could answer the questions as openly as possible, providing enough information to allow us to understand why you have responded as you have.\nPlease could you return the completed questionnaire to commercial@cabinetoffice.gov.uk by 12.00 noon on Wednesday 14th May 2025.\nPrinciples\nPlease note that the following principles will apply to this market engagement activity:\n-Completion and submission of a questionnaire is entirely voluntary. If you choose not to complete and submit a questionnaire (or not to respond to certain questions) this will not preclude you from submitting a bid later in the process.\n-Whether you choose  to complete and submit a questionnaire or not, will not (negatively or positively) affect the evaluation of any bid you may later choose to submit.  Your responses to the questionnaire will not be taken into account when bids are evaluated.\n-Similarly your specific responses to questions will not (negatively or positively) affect the evaluation of any bid you may later choose to submit.\n-The Contracting Authority does not guarantee that it will implement any suggestions, in part or in full, raised by a respondent to the questionnaire.  The decision on how to proceed with the procurement process is at the discretion of the Contract Authority alone.\n-The Contracting Authority may wish to implement suggestions raised and by submitting their responses respondents agree that the Contracting Authority is free to do so.\n-While it is not the intention to do so, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to contact a respondent or respondents on specific points of interest.\nPlease note:  we are unable to respond to  questions during this preliminary  market engagement exercise as it may give suppliers an unfair advantage.  Clarification periods will be incorporated into the procurement process at a later stage where suppliers may raise questions. Clarification responses will be published to all bidders in the procurement process subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000.\nA further pre-market engagement exercise was conducted between 13/06-17/06. Suppliers that responded to the original pre-market engagement were invited to provide an indication of the Lots they intended to bid for. This has been used for information purposes only in order to ensure sufficient interest in the opportunity and will not be used for evaluation purposes.\nEND"
