Additional information from the published procurement release. Fields appear only when supplied by the source; check the original notice and tender documents before acting.
This Framework Agreement is for the supply and delivery of educational table products. The Framework Agreement will operate as a catalogue framework, enabling end users to select awarded products based on their individual requirements and preferences including product specification, dimensions, functionality, design, suitability for the intended environment, delivery requirements, warranty provision, sustainability characteristics and price.
This Framework Agreement is designed to meet the needs of public sector organisations by establishing an agreement with Providers for the supply of educational table products. End customers will place orders with YPO, YPO will place the corresponding order with the Provider, and the Provider will deliver the products directly to the end customer.
Suppliers are required to submit their proposed pricing using the Pricing Schedule. The pricing submitted will be used for evaluation purposes and contract award. Any price reviews during the contract term will be conducted in accordance with the information set out in the tender documents and must be supported by appropriate evidence where requested.
Any new products added throughout the term will be reviewed based on relevant benchmarking and similar product costs to ensure they are competitive. New products will be added to the annual pricing for review and acceptance.
The Framework Agreement consists of nine Lots covering a range of educational table categories. Suppliers will be appointed based on the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) assessment methodology set out in the procurement documents.
The Framework Agreement will be established for an initial period of two (2) years, with the option to extend for up to a further two (2) years, giving a maximum term of four (4) years.
