Framework operation description

The Framework is established by Leigh Academies Trust as the Contracting Authority and is managed and administered on an ongoing basis by Pretium Frameworks Limited, acting as Framework Manager and Agent. The Framework consists of a single lot awarded to a single supplier. Call-off contracts are awarded by Award Without Further Competition, allowing Authorised Users to instruct the Framework Supplier directly without any further tender process. Authorised Users access the Framework by entering into an Access Agreement with Leigh Academies Trust and Pretium Frameworks. The Framework is open to organisations throughout the UK including educational establishments, social housing providers, NHS and health authorities, and any other contracting authority as defined under the Procurement Act 2023. Pretium Frameworks is responsible for overseeing strategic performance of the Framework Supplier, coordinating the signing of Access Agreements, and administering awards without further competition. Individual Authorised Users are responsible for administering their own call-off contracts and monitoring operational performance at contract level. The cost of administering the Framework is recovered by Pretium through a management fee based on the value of all sales procured through the Framework. This fee is paid by the Framework Supplier and is included within the rates tendered in the Price Schedule, meaning there are no additional costs to Authorised Users for accessing the Framework.
