The framework is being extended by up to 6 months from the initial 48 month framework term, as detailed with sections VII.2.1) Description of modification and VII.2.2) Reason for modification.
Extension of the current CPC framework agreement for multifunctional/reprographics devices and associated services and suppliers of no more than 6 months, taking the total length of the agreement to a maximum of 54 months. All suppliers that were awarded a place on the framework at the time of tender have agreed to the extension, with exception of Misco UK Ltd, as this company entered administration during the framework term and were removed from the framework, and as such, this framework has been reduced from 21 suppliers to 20. This extension is to allow CPC's member and wider public sector institutions access to the supplier market whilst a re-tendering process for the framework takes place.
In line with Procurement Policy Notice PPN 01/20 referring to the Covid-19 crisis and highlighted by Regulation 72 (1)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, addressing the following three areas:
(i) throughout the education sector and the wider public sector within the United Kingdom, and the supply market, a number of organisations have either not been operating throughout the Covid-19 crisis, or have faced severe restrictions upon their ability to operate throughout the Covid 19 crises;
(iii) the spend over a fullest extent of the 6 month extension period will not exceed the originally stated framework agreement value.
