It is most likely that you can.
This framework provides customers with the widest, unrestricted choice of manufacturers and technologies and is free to access and easy to use, through either Direct Award, self-administered mini-comp or, if required, a fully managed further competition process. In some cases, you may even be able to continue to work with your incumbent supplier.
Direct Award can be made on the basis that your organisation is able to identify the most economically advantageous provider without conducting a further competition. Outside the ranking, the framework agreement award criteria is used to determine the highest scoring capable provider, but the criteria weightings are flexible and therefore, can be determined by your organisation to meet your needs.
Where further competition is required in order to identify the most economically advantageous provider against your specific needs, HTE will work in close partnership with your organisation to ensure that you are able to explore the most relevant procurement route, allowing you to obtain the outcome that best suits your circumstances. You may engage the market prior to going to competition in order to help you gather knowledge and expertise from the industry leaders so that when you come to compete your requirements, your procurement delivers the very best solution regarding the technology available and at the very best price.
