Tender information last checkedLast checked 30 Sept 2026, 05:08.

Opportunity overview

WRAP is preparing to launch a tender exercise for a framework to provide high quality technical advisor services to enable WRAP to provide valuable policy, support and evidence in the area of Waste and Resource Management, that can be applied to one or more of our core sector programme areas and one or more of our key stakeholder audiences. The intention is to go live with the tender within the next 7 days (but this not guaranteed). The work assigned through the framework involves providing technical advice and assumptions as well as a quality assurance role in projects that WRAP has scheduled in to deliver. The advisors appointed to the framework shall have: Expertise and experience in the sector and specialism they have indicated, Significant demonstrable skills, Evidence of acting as a lead technical advisor in the delivery of related projects, and Been involved in relevant published work. This is anticipated to be an Open Framework Agreement, which will operate for a maximum of 8 years. A new procurement exercise will be run prior to each 2-year re-opening window to allow new suppliers to apply. Existing suppliers will remain on the Framework for the full duration, subject to performance and continued eligibility. Re-openings will be conducted via a new procurement process under the Open Framework provisions of the UK Procurement Act 2023. Organisations may apply to be on more than one lot if they wish and they have relevant experience.

Description
Once the framework contracts have been awarded, WRAP project teams will be able to call off from the framework using one of the following processes: Direct Award Assignments may be awarded by direct award in exceptional circumstances if the value of the brief is less than £15k. We will implement a Direct Award approach, allowing the Project Team to allocate awards based on specific project needs, as well as a predetermined ranking, if required. This method ensures flexibility and responsiveness to unique project requirements. Award Criteria can include, but not limited to: Relevant Skills and Experience Day Rate Location To maintain fairness and transparency, each award decision will be thoroughly justified based on the above criteria. Mini Competition / Invitation to Further Competition Most assignments on this framework, regardless of value, will be awarded based on a mini competition. When a mini competition is carried out, all suppliers within the relevant Lot will be invited to bid for the requirement. Suppliers will be evaluated against the criteria included in the mini competition documents and the highest scoring supplier will be awarded the contract
