Selecting the most appropriate procurement procedure: There are three procurement procedures available under the GP IT Futures Framework. They are:
- Direct Award - low complexity contracts valued up to £40,000. The decision to execute a Direct Award for a Catalogue solution can be determined using information on the Buying Catalogue.
- Further Competition On-Catalogue - low complexity contracts valued up to £250,000. A Further Competition On-Catalogue procedure can be executed using information available on the Buying Catalogue and requires an evaluation of Catalogue solutions to determine suitability.
- Further Competition Off-Catalogue - high complexity and high-value contracts. A Further Competition Off Catalogue procedure requires an Invitation to Tender issued to Catalogue Solution suppliers, and an evaluation process informed by information on the Buying Catalogue.
