Neutral Vendor Framework for Innovation (NVFi)

Descriptions

The Ministry of Defence seeks to contract a single supplier (the "Neutral Vendor") to provide innovative technological goods or services from third-party Technology Providers to His Majesty's Government (HMG). The successful Tenderer will enter into a Framework Contract (the Neutral Vendor Framework for Innovation, “NVFi”) with the Ministry of Defence, from which Framework Users from across the Public Sector will be able to procure via Call-Off Contracts. This Framework Contract will set the overall terms and conditions for the Call-Off Contracts that follow. The Neutral Vendor will be capable of delivering goods and services via its supply chain of Technology Providers across fourteen technology areas. The Neutral Vendor will not provide technological goods or services in its own right and must maintain and evidence neutrality when selecting suitable specialist Technology Providers to deliver the required goods and/or services under the scope. The Neutral Vendor will offer ancillary services to facilitate the provision of the required goods and services in the scope from Technology Providers. Further detail of the ancillary services to be provided by the Neutral Vendor and the technology areas within scope can be found in the PQQ. The Ministry of Defence intends to make this Framework available for use by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations. The authorised user list can be found in the PQQ. It is highly recommended that Tenderers review the document "Introduction to the Neutral Vendor Framework for Innovation (NVFi)" and the Statement of Requirement (Annex A of the ITN) before preparing their responses. To register your interest in this tender and access the PQQ documents as well as further useful supporting information, please register for the Defence Sourcing Portal (www.contracts.mod.uk), and search for the Neutral Vendor Framework for Innovation.
