What is being bought

Published requirement description

NEPO is entering into a Call-Off Contract under NEPRO Innovation with Constellia as the Delivery Partner. Constellia will provide a managed service for procuring goods, works, services, technology, and research and development requirements.

The initial requirement under the framework relates to the identification of technology providers to support a data-led project, however, NEPO may procure other projects under this Call-Off.

Use of the framework enables NEPO to access a marketplace of technology focused and innovative suppliers capable of responding to the project requirements for the initial requirement.

NEPO requires managed service support from Constellia due to the specialist nature of the initial requirement and to support a competitive process that seeks to demonstrate best value.

The framework may operate for up to eight years, comprising an initial four-year term with two optional two-year extensions. NEPO may use the Call-Off for future projects where requirements are identified and use of the framework is appropriate.

NEPO will use the mini-competition mechanism under the Call-Off wherever possible to source suppliers from Constellia's marketplace.
