NEPRO x Financial Resilience

Description

The Association of North East Councils Trading as the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) seeks to establish a Framework for the provision of a Financial Resilience Solution (NEPRO x Financial Resilience), enabling Contracting Authorities to access a suite of financial-based services that can be deployed in a compliant and efficient manner to support Financial Resilience. The Framework is intended to commence on 1 April 2026 and will have an initial term of four years. NEPO may, at its sole discretion, extend the Framework for up to two further periods of two years, resulting in a maximum term of eight years. In accordance with Section 47(2) of the Procurement Act, NEPO considers that the nature of the services to be delivered under this Framework requires a longer duration than the standard 48 months. The establishment of the collaborative community and the strategic nature of the services necessitates a long-term arrangement to foster enduring, value-driven partnerships between Contracting Authorities and appointed Supplier(s). Suppliers wishing to access and complete the tender documents must first register on Open (eTendering system) using the following link: https://www.open-uk.org
