How to buy

This agreement is further competition only, due to the individual and potentially complex requirements of customers.

There are two options of how to run your further competition:

  • run an Expression of Interest (EOI) followed by a further competition to those suppliers who have responded as interested in the opportunity
  • run a further competition to all suppliers

More detail on suggested weightings for award evaluation, timescales and how to complete an EOI is covered in more detail in the agreement guidance under the documents tab.

Before going out to the suppliers on the agreement we recommend that you engage in extensive pre-market engagement. Further guidance is included in the customer guidance available to view or download under the documents section.
