Reference: CM3550
The objective of this Procurement Process is to establish a framework for the supply of end-user computing (EUC) equipment and associated lifecycle services for Yorkshire Water under CM3550. The framework is intended to support the procurement and management of standard devices and peripherals, rugged devices, network hardware and asset recovery services. The Contract Opportunity is expected to be structured across four lots: standard devices and peripherals; rugged devices; network hardware; and lifecycle management and asset recovery. The scope may include device and peripheral supply, fulfilment, support and maintenance, repair, reuse and redeployment, refurbishment, and the recovery, remarketing, recycling or secure disposal of end-of-life assets. The framework is intended to support consistent specifications and governance while enabling competition between suitable suppliers. Call-offs may be made by direct award or mini-competition, depending on the nature and complexity of the requirement. Please refer to the procurement documents for the detailed scope of services, specifications and lot requirements.

Renewal
The framework will have an initial term of five years, with one option to extend for up to a further three years. Yorkshire Water may exercise the extension where the requirement for the goods and services continues and an extension is considered necessary to maintain continuity of supply and effective framework operation, subject to satisfactory supplier performance and continued value for money. The extension may be exercised for all or part of the additional period.

Yes
Framework details
The framework is being established by Yorkshire Water (YW) through a collaborative buying-club approach. It is intended to deliver commercial value, supply-chain resilience, technology standardisation, sustainability benefits and procurement efficiency. The framework will comprise four core Lots: Lot 1 - Standard devices and peripherals; Lot 2 - Rugged devices; Lot 3 - Network hardware; and Lot 4 - Lifecycle management and asset recovery. It will also include optional Lot 5 - Mobile devices, covering mobile phones, tablets and associated accessories as specified in the procurement documents. Lot 5 is optional, and YW reserves the right not to award it. Other utilities may participate in the buying club and may award call-off contracts under the relevant Lot, subject to the framework terms and applicable eligibility requirements. Participating utilities may contribute forecast demand and help align requirements and specifications during the procurement process. YW will lead the procurement and evaluation. Each participating authority will retain responsibility for its own governance, approvals, budget and decision whether to award a call-off. Participation does not guarantee that an authority will place orders. The estimated total framework value is £301,200,000, of which £50,200,000 relates to YW's estimated requirement. These are estimates of potential spend and do not guarantee orders, call-offs or expenditure. Both values are exclusive of VAT. Prices will be established through the framework competition, using tendered prices and any applicable pricing mechanisms set out in the framework documents. Call-off contracts may be awarded by direct award, where the requirement can be met in accordance with the framework's direct-award rules, or by mini-competition among suppliers appointed to the relevant Lot. Mini-competitions will allow the buyer to assess price and relevant factors such as availability, fulfilment, service and lifecycle requirements against the published call-off rules and criteria. The procurement is planned to include an initial round assessing bidders' capability and contractual submissions. YW reserves the right to conduct additional rounds, in which bidders may be eliminated in accordance with the published evaluation criteria. Further rounds may include clarification or refinement of submissions and a commercial round before final evaluation and award.
