The current CDIS framework is due to expire in December 2020. The London Procurement Partnership (LPP) were due to start with re-tendering exercise for a replacement framework in March 2020 when the Covid-19 situation hit. A Prior Indication Notice (PIN) 20200221-006446, was sent out on 21 February 2022 to reflect this.
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, LPP were not able to go ahead with any of the pre-market engagement meetings with key suppliers or run the supplier bidders day. Covid-19 caused large delays to all day to day running of lots of business, it was not deemed fair for all suppliers to be able to respond to an OJEU in these unsettled circumstances.
Therefore, due to all of the implications and barriers the Covid-19 pandemic has caused, LPP are looking to extend the current CDIS framework to all currently awarded suppliers for an additional period of one year. This allowing LPP adequate time to run a fully compliant OJEU process put in place the new framework.
A full list of the originally awarded framework suppliers can be found in the contract award notice 2017/S 085-166185.
