Members will need to run a mini competition if utilising Lot 1 or Lot 2. Templates have been created for this purpose to increase ease of use for both members and suppliers.
If you are a member of the DfE Risk Protection Arrangement (RPA) and require quotations for additional covers/services, please firstly check that your institution is a CPC Member. If you are already a member of CPC, please login and download the Additional Insurance Questionnaire available below and follow the instructions contained therein.
It is very important for CPC members to register on the new Find a Tender Service to create your organisation’s unique procurement identifier, known as an API Key. You then need to add the API Key to your profile on our MultiQuote eSender portal to run compliant mini competitions for our frameworks. It is a requirement under Procurement Act 2023 that relevant notices are published to the Find a Tender Service and MultiQuote can only publish your notices if you have added your API Key. See our Find a tender service registration web page for a step-by-step guide on how to register.
The CPC Quote Tool makes it easy to perform and manage a further competition exercise on this Framework. It's free to use for all our members and offers quick, compliant access to all suppliers on purchases that fall below £207,720.00
If your purchase exceeds £207,720.00, the CPC Sourcing Cloud is available that complies with the regulations to allow electronic tender returns whilst still being free to use for our members. Find out more about the CPC Sourcing Cloud.
The contracting authority for this Framework is Crescent Purchasing Consortium.
