Published requirement description

YPO and NEPO are looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for

the provision of Sustainable Hardware, Asset Recycling & Data Destruction. This Framework

is designed to allow YPO to meet the needs of all public sector organisations by establishing

an agreement where the end customer will place orders directly with the Provider on a

“contract” basis and the Provider will deliver direct to the end customer on an agreed basis.

The Framework is designed to meet the needs of all public sector organisations which

includes YPO’s internal requirements.

  • Recurrence: There is a possibility that this Framework will be subject to renewal after 3.5 years from the commencement date

How this framework works

From the published notice
Bids received
24 bids on the busiest of 3 lots · 13 suppliers appointed
Framework period
4 yrs from 14 Feb 2024

Lots and requirements (3)Procurement structure

3 lots · all with a published value · evaluation weights differ by lot

Every one of these 3 lots carries the same published figure, £200,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

Lot #1Supply of Refurbished HardwareAwardedRenewal 4 yrsceiling above

Lot 1 is for the provision of refurbished ICT hardware across a wide range of manufacturers

which provides a complete ICT equipment solution. Associated bundled software and

operating systems included as part of a standard OEM factory build are included in this Lot.

Refurbished refers to ‘old’ and/or used hardware equipment that has been restored to like new working condition and/or appearance.

Contract period: 14 Feb 2024 – 13 Feb 2028 (4 yrs)
Delivery: UK
Extensions: The Framework Agreement will cover the period 29 May 2024 to 28 May 2026 with an option to extend for an additional 24 months. The first decision to extend the contract period will be taken by the end of November 2025 and will be dependent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of the Framework to date, the current market conditions for this category and YPO’s contracting structures. The maximum contract period will therefore be 4 years, from 29 May 2024 to 28 May 2028 (subject to an annual review, incorporating price negotiations and KPI performance). · There is a possibility that this Framework will be subject to renewal after 3.5 years from the commencement dateVariant bids: not allowed

What it takes to win
i

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Conditions of participation1
  • Suitability

    Organisations must ensure that they are not in breach of any of the mandatory or discretionary exclusions contained in Regulation 57 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Please refer to the Tender Documentation/Online Tender located on our E-Procurement system. The web address can be found under ‘Procurement Documents’ in the ‘Communication’ section of this notice.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
  • “YPO - 001161 - Sustainable Hardware, Asset Recycling and Data…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
