NEPO413 Catering Disposables

Tender description

The North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is inviting responses from tenderers for a framework agreement for the supply of Catering Disposables to be delivered direct to establishments. Additional information: Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, NEPO believes that the first condition set out in Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 has been fulfilled in respect of the framework agreement. NEPO have taken the decision to extend the existing framework agreements that were due for reprocurement for a period of six (6 months). This is to enable NEPO resource to be diverted to procuring urgent requirements to deal with COVID-19 consequences and to relieve pressure on the supply chain while short staffed, to enable businesses to continue to deliver services and goods to customers. NEPO intends to deliver replacement framework agreements as quickly as possible after the initial COVID-19 impact.
