Customers wishing to buy Goods via the Framework will do so in the following way(s) in accordance with section 45 of the Procurement Act 2023 (and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof):\nCall-off without competition\n\u0027Calling-off\u0027 Goods from a Supplier identified who is: a) included in the Framework; b) suitable for meeting the Customer\u0027s specific needs, and; c) identified as offering the most advantageous solution to the Customer\u0027s requirements, based on the information provided to Customers.\nCall-off with competition (Further Competitive Selection Process)\n\u0027Calling-off\u0027 by conducting a further competitive selection process amongst those Suppliers identified in the Framework as being able to provide the required Goods. This means that not all competitive selection processes will necessarily include all the Suppliers - a customer will only invite those Suppliers that are included in the Framework for the particular type of contract required. Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the Framework.\nPlease note that once this Framework is established, the right is reserved by the Customer when running a further competitive selection process, to invite the Suppliers to participate in an eAuction.\nPlease refer to the tender documents for any further details.\nESPO Trading Limited Second Framework:\nESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, 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 Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.\nAny Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited 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 Procurement Act 2023 or other public procurement legislation.
