Order Process
This Framework Agreement has been tendered in full accordance with the Public
Contracts Regulations 2006 and the Public Contracts (Amendment) Regulations
2009 (sometimes referred to as the ‘EU Directives’) and so, for call-off requirements,
Institutions do not need to go through the full procedural steps of these Regulations
again.
There are in essence 2 options to award under this framework.
1. Appoint the supplier that has been ranked as the number 1 bidder following
the tendering and evaluation process of the original EU tendering process. In
exceptional circumstances, where that provider is not capable of providing the
services in question, the institution should turn to the next best provider.
The number 1 ranked agency for Temporary IT Agency Staff is LA
International Computing Consultants.
2. The second option is to run a formal competition called a “Mini - Competition”.
The mini-competition could be a more detailed exercise specific to
requirements, where the terms laid down in the framework agreements are
not precise enough or complete for the particular call-off. Framework supplier
capable and interested in providing the goods or services should be
shortlisted, and award made to the supplier(s) who can provide the services
using the refined terms on the most economically advantageous basis.
Any substantive modifications to the terms set out in the framework
agreement itself are not permitted (the scope of the agreement cannot
substantively change). It is a matter of supplementing or refining the basic
terms to reflect particular circumstances for the individual call-off.
Examples of such terms are:
 particular delivery timescales and requirements
 particular associated services
 adherence to institution policy, (such as sustainability,
etc.);
Further advice and guidance on mini competitions can be sought from the
central Purchasing and Insurance office.
