How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework
- Call-offs
- call-offs are awarded directly to appointed suppliers, without further competition
- Bids received
- 2 bids on the busiest of 2 lots · 2 suppliers appointed
- Framework period
- 2 yrs · up to 3 yrs from 2 Feb 2026
Published description of the framework
Suppliers will be in a ranked order of 1st, 2nd and 3rd etc. according to their scores against the evaluation criteria set out below.
Pricing should be held throughout the duration of the framework. Should pricing not be held for the entirety of the framework duration, CPI reserves the right to conduct a mini-competition as per the process detailed below and rerank in line with the mini competition criteria.
As and when we require goods we will confirm our requirements with the preferred (ranked 1st) supplier and place a Purchase Order. In the event that the 1st placed supplier cannot provide the goods required or meet the delivery timescale, the order will be placed with the 2nd placed supplier on the list in the same manner. Should the 2nd placed supplier be unable to provide the goods required or meet the delivery timescale, the order will be placed with the 3rd placed supplier in the same manner, with this process continued for any further members on the relevant lot until the goods have been provided. Where no panel members are able to meet our requirements, CPI reserves the right to award outside of this framework.
