Neutral Vendor Managed Service Framework for Technical and Professional Services (NEUTAPS)

The Neutral Vendor Managed Service Contractor will provide an end-to-end managed service for the provision of technical and professional services from a wide range of categories. Cardiff Council currently manage the collaborative SEWTAPS Framework, which covers a range of construction consultancy disciplines. Lot 11 of this framework has been successfully used for a Neutral Vendor solution to deliver Professional Services that go beyond the core construction consultancy services. Following the successes of this lot, the requirements are being separated and a new framework will be established. The sole Contractor will allow access to a wide range of technical and professional services through their pre-vetted supply chain, across a variety of markets. The Neutral Vendor requires specialist knowledge and expertise to provide Contracting Authorities a streamlined route to market, making it more efficient and achieve best value for money. This framework will not include recruitment or agency staff. Key to the success of the framework is the option of a flexible approach for Contracting Authorities, encouraging early consultant involvement, focusing on developing client / contractor relationships that improve value for money through a reduction in: time to market and duplication of processes, development of common standards and the sharing of best practice that seeks to drive innovation. The Neutral Vendor lot under the SEWTAPS Framework is used extensively by over 30 different organisations in the public sector throughout the UK, including Local Councils, Universities and Central Government Authorities. The framework will be available to a wide range of potential customers. For further details please see schedule 1 ‘potential customers’ of the Framework Agreement. The Contractor will need to demonstrate capability and capacity to meet these requirements. Please refer to the full procurement documents for further information.
