Description
The route to market utilised was Lot 2 Office, Learning & Communal Spaces Northern Ireland of the NWUPC framework. Provides access to four pre-qualified, compliant suppliers through an established framework. Reduces procurement timescales by removing the need for a full open competition. Delays to the procurement could jeopardise the target of having the office operational by July 2026, a risk for which both the SRO and Head of the Northern Ireland Office have a low tolerance. Delivers value for money through pre-agreed commercial arrangements and framework rates that have already been market tested. All framework suppliers have an operational presence in Northern Ireland, helping to minimise lead times and support timely delivery.
