Lead Suppliers must decide which tier to bid on – Tier 1 High Value Lots (1-7) or Tier 2 Low Value Lots (8-14). Within each tier Lead Suppliers can bid on one or multiple lots. The Framework Agreement will commence in November 2023 for the period of 2 years with two (2) one year extension options each subject to ongoing need. The maximum throughput of the Framework Agreement will be GBP 3 000 000 000 with GBP 1 500 000 000 for the initial term and GBP 750 000 000 for each of the 2 extensions. ** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** The authority expressly reserves the right: (i) not to award any Framework Agreements as a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of this notice; and (ii) to make whatever changes it may see fit to the content and structure of the tendering competition and Procurement documents can be accessed through the FCDO supply partner portal https://fcdo.bravosolution.co.uk Please note that this contract notice covers 2 ITT references on the FCDO Supplier Portal - one for each of the Lot Tiers: • ITT_5435, High Value Lots 1-7 • ITT_5436, Low Value Lots 8-14 The ITT Packs have been tailored to the specific requirements of the High and Low Value Lots. Suppliers should submit their Bids against the Lot and ITT number they are to be considered for. Lead Suppliers must decide whether to bid for the High Value lot(s) or Low Value lot(s). The High Value lot(s) represents Tier 1, and the Low Value lot(s) represents Tier 2. Lead Suppliers must select which tier to bid on. Within a tier, Lead Suppliers can bid for one lot or multiple lots. An illustration of this is provided in Annex 6 of the Terms of Reference. If a Lead Supplier submits proposals for both High Value Lots and Low Value Lots, FCDO reserves the right to reject these proposals. However, where this happens, we will send a clarification to Lead Suppliers to ask which proposal(s) we should consider i.e., High Value lot proposal(s) or Low Value lot proposal(s) based on the Lead Supplier’s response we will reject the other proposal(s). An illustration of this is provided in Annex 6 of the Terms of Reference. A Lead Supplier can be a sub-contractor on High Value Lot(s) and Low Value Lot(s), but not on the lot(s) they have bid on as a Lead Supplier (i.e., a supplier cannot be a Lead and a sub-contractor in the same Lot). If a Lead Supplier bids on a specific lot and also joins as a sub-contractor to another Supplier on the same lot, they will be rejected as a Lead Supplier on that specific lot. An illustration of this is provided in Annex 6 of the Terms of Reference. Lead Suppliers should check with all sub-contractors ahead of adding to their supply chain they are not submitting a proposal as a Lead Supplier for the same lot.
