Framework agreement to supply ICT goods and services to the education sector and any UK public sector body

Description

Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) and The Elliot Foundation Trust (TEFAT) seek to establish a framework agreement enabling schools, multi-academy trusts and all UK public sector bodies to procure a variety of ICT goods and services, where those goods and services are split into a series of lots, allowing suppliers to respond to single lots, multiple lots, or all lots. The lots range from hardware and software purchases, to procuring a full managed service with a chosen Strategic ICT Partner. There is no limit to the number of suppliers on each lot and no limit to the number of lots you can respond to. We welcome responses from registered companies (including SMEs), consortia, Special Purpose Vehicles and Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSEs). The Sponsors (AET and TEFAT) will be procuring a Strategic Partner utilising the framework, which will run in parallel to the framework procurement. These further competitions will be lots 16 and 17 of the framework ITT. The framework lots are Strategic Partnering Services, Hardware Provision, Audio Visual, Networking, Wide Area Networking, Servers and Storage, Hardware as a Service, Software, Cloud Services, MIS, Printing, Telephony, Built Environment, Support Services, Consultancy Services, AET Further Competition, and TEFAT Further Competition. enFrame are focussed on ensuring that every procurement is driven by Social Value and fighting climate change, an ethos that is shared with AET and TEFAT. A such, the framework asks what Social Value supplies can offer through delivery of the service that would benefit the trusts, and what they can offer and do to reduce the trusts’ carbon footprint. Lot 1: Lot 3: Hardware Provision (Overarching lot) Lot 3: Hardware Provision Lot 3: Hardware is the overarching lot that includes the provision of Mobile Devices, Desktop/Fixed Devices, Peripherals, and Device Services sub-lots. To be successfully awarded a place on the overarching lot, Suppliers must provide responses to, and be successfully awarded a place on each sub-lot under that lot. Suppliers successfully awarded as a Panel Member for a sub-lot will be invited to tender for all Further Competitions for that sub-lot. Suppliers successfully awarded as a Panel Member for all the sub-lots in a lot will automatically be awarded as a Panel Member on the overarching lot and will be invited to tender for all Further Competitions for the lot and all its sub-lots. However, they will not be invited to bid for any part of a Further Competition using a lot that they are not a Panel Member for.
