Section VI: Complementary information

VI.3) Additional information

FOR A FULL BREAKDOWN ON THE AWARD BY LOT/SUB-LOT (INCLUDING A LIST OF ALL THE AWARDED SUPPLIERS), PLEASE REFER TO THE AWARD ON CONTRACTS FINDER (AND THE ATTACHMENT CAPTURED WITHIN THAT) - please go to the opportunity on Contracts Finder via https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/d1b86ffa-902f-4427-afe6-c186e439bd5e, where a link to the "Awarded contract" notice will be captured (with the Award summary by Lot being captured as an attachment in that notice).

Additionally, you may also wish to refer to the Framework on the ESPO website (see https://www.espo.org/consultancy-services-664-25.html).

As a Central Purchasing Body as defined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Framework Agreement is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at https://www.espo.org/amfile/file/download/file/9608/) that also fall into one of the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: Local Authorities; Educational Establishments (including Academies); Central Government Departments and Agencies; Police, Fire & Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords; The Corporate Office of the House of Lords, The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons; or any public body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament. Details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas are available at: https://www.espo.org/legal.

ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.

Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders information only.

An eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement.
