National Framework Agreement for the provision of Refurbished Electronic Devices and Repair Services

The aim of the proposed framework is to provide a sustainable and cost-effective method to extend the life cycle of mobile electronic devices. By using mobile electronic devices for longer there will be a reduction in the environmental impact from the decrease in the quantity of devices created and disposed of each year.

The scope of the proposed framework will include:

Lot 1: Repair of electronic devices

Lot 2: Supply of refurbished devices

Lot 3: Complete Service - Repair of electronic devices and supply of refurbished devices

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Commercial Procurement Service anticipates appointing all Bidders who score a total of 60% or more for a Lot (who have met the minimum requirements which are set out in these ITT documents) to supply the services under that Lot, as detailed within the specification at SCHEDULE A FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT SPECIFICATION.
