NEPRO Four

The Association of North East Councils Limited · Local or regional public body

In brief

The Association of North East Councils Limited has announced plans to buy financial services and environmental work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £6,000,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, up to 8 years with extensions, starting 1 September 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £6,000,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

NEPO seeks to establish a Framework Agreement for Specialist Professional Services ("NEPRO Four"). It is envisaged NEPRO Four will operate as a Neutral Vendor Managed Service vehicle for the delivery of Specialist Professional Services. The Neutral Vendor will not provide Specialist Professional Services in its own right and must maintain neutrality at all times when selecting suitable suppliers to deliver services under the Framework Agreement. NEPO's existing Framework Agreement for Specialist Professional Services (NEPRO Three) will expire on 31st August 2029. For the avoidance of doubt, NEPO seeks to procure a single provider solution to manage a perpetual supply chain, capable of delivering a full spectrum of Specialist Professional Services. The scope of services covered under NEPRO Four will not include Temporary or Permanent Recruitment. The solution will be procured using the procedures outlined in the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023).

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
