Following the successes of Lot 11 (Neutral Vendor) of the South East Wales Technical and Professional Services (SEWTAPS) Framework, this Framework has been established as an evolution and replacement of the Lot, addressing the need for a dedicated Neutral Vendor Managed Service Framework for Technical and Professional services solution for use by Public Sector Customers throughout the UK. The Neutral Vendor Managed Service Provider will provide a secure, unbiased, high quality managed service provision to support the delivery of consultancy projects and professional services requirements across the wide scope of potential requirements, through management of their fully vetted Supply Chain Provider Pool. Common drivers for commissioning such expertise, include the need for specific technical skills, additional capacity, sector-specific insights, innovation and experience, and the value of an independent, objective perspective. Engaging professional and consultancy services can provide access to a wealth of expert advice, specialist knowledge, and enhanced capabilities that may not be readily available internally. This Framework can be used and Call-Off Contracts may be entered into with the Contractor under this Framework by all Contracting Authorities throughout all administrative regions of the UK (as defined by the Procurement Act 2023) including but not limited to Government Departments and their Agencies, Non-Departmental Public Bodies, Central Government, NHS Bodies, Local Authorities, Emergency Services, Coastguard Emergency Services, Educational Establishments, Registered Social Landlords and Registered Charities who have a need to purchase the above services (including any successor in the exercise of their statutory or public functions). Other public bodies exercising their functions in, or in relation to the UK but not specifically referred to above may also use this Framework. The Framework may also be used by non-Public Sector organisations to comply with conditions associated with the use of public funds for those specific projects (including but not limited to Section 106).
