Technology Services Specialist Framework (SME)

Description

The objective of the tender is to select Specialist service providers who are capable of providing services for a maximum of 3 Lots, to enable SWS, at its election, to award work within a pool of pre-qualified service providers without the need to embark on a formal Procurement Act 23 process at individual project level. To facilitate this, the intention is that the successful bidders will be awarded a place on the Technology Services Specialist Framework Agreement. SWS will retain the right to compete work outside the pool of pre-qualified service providers (i.e. Procurement Act '23 process) where appropriate (e.g. where the pre-qualified service providers do not have the capability to deliver the services required by SWS or the price secured within the pool is not judged by SWS to be market competitive).
