Time saving, members can use the framework rather than completing a full tender process

Suppliers capable of providing across all lots

Direct award or further competition

1. Using this framework supports our Giving Back initiative. Our charity's focus is on SEND, wellbeing and absenteeism

• Direct Award - Where the terms laid down in the agreement are sufficiently precise to cover the member’s requirement and the most economically advantageous offer can easily be identified, the member can award the call-off without re-opening competition. 
• Further Competition - Members are encouraged to engage in Further Competition to secure best value, inviting all capable suppliers on the framework Lot to participate. This can be done each time a requirement arises, or you can award to one supplier for a reasonable duration subject to performance and mutual agreement. Call-off contracts can continue after the relevant framework agreement has expired if it is a typical call-off and the purpose is not to distort competition. However, guidance suggests that the call-off should not be longer than the total duration of the framework. Members can design the Customer Requirements to reflect their individual requirements and they can change the award criteria weightings.

Important Procurement Act 2023 requirement

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.
