Customers wishing to buy Goods and/or Services 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):\n* Call-off without competition - \u0027calling-off\u0027 goods and/or services 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 source(s) of information for customers\u0027 supplier selection decisions.\nPricing against the specifications contained in the pricing schedule submitted by suppliers will facilitate this, as would an overview of the goods and/or services and additional benefits offered by each supplier. This method of purchasing may be useful for customers who have already conducted due diligence checks on supplier offerings, engaged the market and can demonstrate that their chosen solution represents best value.\n* Call-off with competition (Competitive Selection Process) - \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 and/or services. 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 and location of contract required. Customers will assess the suppliers as set out in the terms and conditions of the framework.\nAn eAuction process may be used to award subsequent call-off contracts following the reopening of competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement.\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. Accordingly, this is provided for tenderers information only.",
