How do I issue a direct award?
There are two methods of procurement when buying through a framework
- Direct Award: with a Direct Award you can easily procure products and services without the need to run a further competition when there is a valid Service Offer (SO) published on the frameworks marketplace. The first step is to contact your Account Manager who will help you to fill out the Direct Award Call Off Order Form.
Benefits of direct award:
- Formally recognised with pre-defined products and services
- Service offers enable a quicker route to cost savings
- A faster route to contract, signature and service delivery
- Combination of catalogue items to purchase a wider solution
- No tender process needed
Further Competition: this helps you to amend or refine a wider range of the template call-off terms and conditions, giving you more flexibility when defining your statement of requirements. This route should be used when you need suppliers to develop proposals or solutions to meet your statement of requirements. It can also be used when your requirement covers multiple lots of an agreement.
