— eTendering (including eEvaluation),

ESPO operates an eProcurement portal, through which it usually conducts tender exercises. However, ESPO has determined that the specialised nature of this procurement means that, in order to be able to demonstrate that the confidentiality of tenders has been preserved, the use of electronic means of communication would require specific tools, devices or file formats that are not generally available or supported by generally available applications. Regulation 22(3) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 permits ESPO not to use electronic means of communication in these circumstances. Therefore, ESPO shall carry out communication in accordance with Regulation 22(4) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the tender process will be completed outside the portal, through a postal exercise.

ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Ltd, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier will be asked to enter into an additional separate Framework Agreement (the second framework) with ESPO Trading Ltd on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.

The second Framework Agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Ltd will enter into the Framework Agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only.
