Dates for the Diary PSGU – 19 August 2021 PSGC – 19 August 2021 Procurex Scotland – 29 September 2021 General APUC category specific responsible supply chain guides can be found on the APUC Buyers Portal at the following link Responsible Supply Chain Guide Framework Agreements – Introduction Notes Routes to Market Within the information for each Framework Agreement the available routes to market will be described. Most will provide an option to undertake a Mini Competition or a Ranked approach for supplier selection. They are defined below: → A Mini Competition means issuing the Institutions tender documentation to ALL suppliers who have been awarded a place on the Framework Agreement. → Ranked selection means going directly to the Supplier who is ranked number One. If this supplier is unable to undertake the work, then going to supplier number two and so on. → Desktop Selection means selecting suppliers based on the original tender submission scores. There are two methods – “Desktop Evaluation” and “Desktop Award”. These are quick routes to market, details of each method used are contained within the relevant Buyers Guides. All Estates Maintenance Service Framework Agreements that have a reactive service element are ranked to enable call-off within the required timescale. Preventative services elements are more complex and are therefore called off by mini competition. Detailed information on all Framework Agreements are located in the Buyers Guides on the APUC Buyers Portal. General If you have any queries in relation to using the Framework Agreements, then please either get in touch with the named contact for each Framework Agreement or any member of the relevant Category team on the final page.
