The Procurement Act 2023 introduces a new 'open framework' model, which allows for the Framework to be reopened at predetermined intervals. This enables new suppliers to join and existing suppliers to amend their participation. We intend to reopen the Framework after year 2 for Scheme 2 and again at year 4 for Scheme 3 then finally at year 6 for Scheme 4. Suppliers awarded a place on the original Scheme will be given the opportunity to confirm whether they wish to remain on the Framework at each reopening. At that time, suppliers may choose to amend their bids or retain their original submission. All new and amended bids will be evaluated, which may result in changes to Supplier rankings and could affect continued participation or eligibility for direct award opportunities."

Suppliers who are successfully appointed will be added to an approved supplier list. Contracting Authorities have two options for accessing the framework: 1. Further competition 2. Direct Award The choice of access route rests solely with the Contracting Authority. In cases where a Contracting Authority opts for a direct award, all relevant documentation will be made available to support their due diligence process. The Contracting Authority will then place an order directly with the selected supplier. Service Level 1 - Managed Procurement: Suppliers enter into a Framework Agreement with WME, and Contracting Authorities access the framework via a Call-Off Agreement. WME will facilitate the publication of required notices via their ESourcing Portal - Delta. The Authorised User is responsible for defining requirements, drafting specifications, selecting suppliers through further competition or justified direct award, assisting with contract finalisation, and facilitating ongoing contract management. Service Level 2 - Self-Service Procurement: As with the managed model, suppliers enter into a Framework Agreement with WME. However, Contracting Authorities independently manage the procurement process. This includes defining requirements, selecting suppliers via a further competition or direct award, and overseeing the full contract lifecycle without involvement from WME. All due diligence responsibilities rest solely with the Contracting Authority and the chosen Supplier.",
