Framework Agreements for Consumables
RCSI researchers are able to avail of the Framework Agreements established by the Office of Government Procurement. These frameworks are a procurement tool for facilitating the purchasing of defined goods and services and from which considerable potential time and cost savings can be made. A framework is an agreement put in place with a supplier, or range of suppliers, that enables buyers to place orders with service providers, without running a full tender exercise.
Frameworks are based on large volume purchasing. Aggregating different buyer’s needs across all public sector bodies, means individual buyers can buy goods and services at prices below those normally charged, or with special added benefits and/or more advantageous conditions.
This Multi-Supplier Framework reduces the time and cost associated with procurement by offering an agreement that has already been competitively tendered for. As part of the tender process, successful framework members demonstrated proof of the following:
- Best pricing
- Value for money
- Delivery Requirements
- Efficiency
- Ecommerce Requirements
- Quality of products and services
- Health & Safety Standards
- Waste, Environmental & Sustainability
- Account Management Requirements
- Easy drawdown options
- Flexible Call-off Methods
- Best practice procurement
- Agreed terms and conditions
- Value added services
To access the current frameworks please visit ogp.gov.ie and follow the link for the “Buyer Zone” where you can register for access to view the current frameworks that are available.
