NEPO is establishing a Closed Framework which will operate as a Neutral Vendor Managed Service; NEPRO x Innovation. The objective of this procurement is to provide Contracting Authorities with access to a single Supplier (the Delivery Partner) who will provide a managed service for the delivery of services, goods, works, technology and research and development. NEPRO x Innovation is a new Framework for NEPO. As a strategic procurement solution, the Framework will fall under NEPO's 'NEPRO' brand. NEPRO provides outcomes-based frameworks for the public sector. The Delivery Partner will adopt a Managed Service for the delivery of projects in the following areas: • Goods • Works • Services • Technology • Research and Development A single project may include more than one of the above. The Delivery Partner will be able to flexibly deliver projects incorporating all areas, to suit Contracting Authorities' bespoke requirements. The Delivery Partner shall act as an innovation enabler, meeting the following innovation deliverables: • Reduce barriers to innovation • Create guidance and signpost existing guidance to support Contracting Authorities • Promote and facilitate innovative procurement practices • Encourage challenge-based procurement • Drive increased spend with SMEs and VCSEs • Raise innovation awareness through the Innovation Community NEPO expects the typical value of projects being delivered under the Framework, will be at £25k and above. There will be no maximum project value. For the avoidance of doubt, the Delivery Partner will not provide services, goods, works and technology in its own right, but rather will deliver a Managed Service that allows Contracting Authorities to procure these elements. The Delivery Partner will bring together the bespoke requirements of Contracting Authorities and a perpetual Supply Chain capable of meeting those requirements. Equal importance will be placed on the service provided to Contracting Authorities and the management of the Supply Chain delivering the requirements. Through market-led, Outcome-based pricing, the Delivery Partner will provide a 'one stop shop' for all in-scope goods, services, technology, works and research and development and will have a positive impact at every stage of the delivery. The Delivery Partner will act as a single point interface between the Contracting Authority and the Supply Chain. The Delivery Partner will be required to accommodate the bespoke needs of each Contracting Authority in each project. This will require the ability to flexibly deliver goods, works, services, technology and research and development contracts and offer innovative and/or bespoke procurement processes. The successful bidder has been chosen through a two-stage competitive flexible procedure.
