Description

The purpose of this Framework Agreement is to give CPC members a compliant route to market allowing CPC members to purchase at a substantial and demonstrable discount relative to the marketplace throughout the term of the Framework Agreement. 

The Framework Agreement is split into 3 lots as follows:

Lot 1 – Hair Products and Equipment

Lot 2 – Beauty Products and Equipment

Lot 3 – Salon Furniture and Associated Services

The new framework is a merge of two previous frameworks Hair, Beauty and Wigs and Salon Equipment, Furniture Supply and Maintenance.

Members are able to use this compliant route to market for Hair kits, Beauty kits, hair and beauty consumables and full salon refits.

How to Use

There are two routes to market for this framework which are a further competition or a Direct Award. If you are bulk buying or completing a salon refit CPC recommend conducting a further competition. If you need a consumable CPC recommend a direct award. CPC have included a Desktop Calculator and a Further Competition Calculator to simplify the processes for our members. 

Register as a buyer on Find a Tender Service

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.
