CPD currently has in place (or is about to put in place) a number of Framework Agreements/Call-Off Arrangements. These contracts are designed to facilitate the call-off of teams to undertake projects as the need arises by means of a secondary competition between the teams appointed to the framework agreement.

For your assistance we have provided a complete list of these contracts. This list comprises: a complete list of the current contracts (one per page) that details its eSourcingNI Project Number (if applicable); the contract's start and end dates; an estimated annual value; a brief description and, where applicable, a list of the successful suppliers.

It is anticipated that this list should be particularly useful to customers who may wish to avail of an existing contract or to suppliers who may wish to approach an already successful supplier.

More information and help

A framework agreement is a general term for agreements with providers which set out terms and conditions under which specific purchases (call-offs) can be made throughout the term of the agreement. The framework agreement may, itself, be a contract to which the EU procurement rules apply.

Subsequently, when awarding call-offs (individual contracts) under these framework agreements, authorities do not have to go through the full procedural steps in the EU Directives again so long as the rules were followed appropriately in the setting up of the framework agreements themselves.
