Awarded to (96 suppliers)
| Award status: | Active |
| Call-off method: | Both: direct call-off and mini-competition |
| Period rationale: | The justification for an 8-year Framework Agreement term is that for the supply of materials to be effective and efficient, in most cases the Authorised User (and its contractor) and merchant will need integrated information technology systems, with connections to individual operatives and at a more strategic level training and other requirements and facilities. As it takes significant time and resource (including financial expenditure by way of capital (and revenue) investment) for both the Authorised User and merchant to implement effectively integrated systems and to develop comprehensive materials supply catalogues which meet the optimum needs of the member (contractor), the return on the investment to achieve this cannot be recovered in a short term framework and call off contract. CHIC is therefore procuring frameworks that will operate for 8 years from the award date. |
