Description

NEPO seeks to establish a Closed Framework which will operate as a Neutral Vendor Managed Service; NEPRO x Innovation. The objective of this procurement is to provide Contracting Authorities with access to a single Supplier (the Delivery Partner) who will provide a managed service for the delivery of services, goods, works and technology. NEPRO x Innovation is a new Framework for NEPO. As a strategic procurement solution, the Framework will fall under NEPO's 'NEPRO' brand. NEPRO provides outcomes-based frameworks offering an end-to-end procurement solution for the public sector. The Delivery Partner will adopt a Managed Service for the delivery of projects in the following areas: • Goods • Works • Services • Technology A single project may include more than one of the above. The Delivery Partner will be able to flexibly deliver projects incorporating all areas, to suit Contracting Authorities' bespoke requirements. NEPO expects the typical value of projects being delivered under the Framework, will be at £25k and above. There will be no maximum project value. For the avoidance of doubt, the Delivery Partner will not provide services, goods, works and technology in its own right, but rather will deliver a Managed Service that allows Contracting Authorities to procure these elements. The Delivery Partner is to bring together the bespoke requirements of Contracting Authorities and a perpetual Supply Chain capable of meeting those requirements. Equal importance is to be placed on the service provided to Contracting Authorities and the management of the Supply Chain delivering the requirements. Through market-led, Outcome-based pricing, the Delivery Partner will provide a 'one stop shop' for all in scope goods, services, technology and works and will have a positive impact at every stage of the delivery. The Delivery Partner will act as a single point interface between the Contracting Authority and the Supply Chain. The Delivery Partner will be required to accommodate the bespoke needs of each Contracting Authority in each project. This will require the ability to flexibly deliver goods, works, services and technology contracts and offer innovative and/or bespoke procurement processes.

Renewal Options

The Framework is for a period of 48 months with the options to extend for up to a further 2 x 24-month periods. Justification for the longer framework term is provided under section 6 of this Notice.

Legal Justification

The Framework term may exceed 4 years up to a further 2 x 24-month periods. In accordance with section 47(2) of the Procurement Act, NEPO considers that the nature of the services, goods, works and technology provided under the Framework requires a solution that will operate for a longer duration. NEPO considers the longer term is necessary due to the following: • Complexity of the Framework • Resource required to procure the Framework • Complexity and value of projects procured under the Framework, which may span numerous years. • The investment required from the Delivery Partner to implement the Framework including developing and implementing terms and conditions, mobilising a supply chain, developing innovative procurement processes and documentation and mobilising a technology platform. Prior to exercising any extension, NEPO will ensure the Delivery Partner has achieved pre-agreed targets, which will be determined and fixed prior to contract commencement.
