Framework scope
Supply of equipment and associated software, provision of servicing and maintenance support.
This framework allows you to buy through:
- Direct Award (via Ranking)
- Desktop Exercise
- Mini-Competition
You should choose the option most appropriate to your purchase taking into consideration; your Organisational Procurement Guidance and Financial Regulations, the product/service you wish to purchase and the specific requirements of your organisation.
**Mini-competition is recommended as the best option to obtain the most competitive offering for your specific requirements. Many of the products in scope of this agreement are customisable and complex, so a mini-competition (or RFQ via the desktop calculator) would be advised.**
