ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Ltd, 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 Ltd 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 Ltd 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.
The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 12 months. The total estimated value stated in Section II.1.5) includes the option period.
Economic operators are invited to comment on the terms and conditions of the framework agreement and call-off terms. A copy of the framework agreement and call-off terms will be sent to the economic operators that request a copy of the terms and conditions of the framework agreement and call-off terms via place@espo.org. Any comments should be submitted to place@espo.org by 5 p.m. on 4 September 2020. ESPO does not bind itself to accept any proposed changes. ESPO may not consider and may reject any proposed amendments submitted after this date.
