The single supplier framework agreement is a closed framework and not an open framework. The call-off mechanism will be direct call-offs with the single supplier with the process in line with the statement of requirements and the framework agreement. There are no fees charges to the supplier for being on the framework Justification of the length of this FSCS framework agreement - FSCS considers that the nature of the services being supplied under the call-off contracts to be awarded under the framework means a longer term is required for FSCS to fully utilize the benefit of the new proposed framework. Please see the following rationale: -There will be a considerable period of transition between the incumbent supplier and a new supplier, which will require up-front investment from the supplier, and from FSCS, to build the expertise required and for knowledge transition. There will also be a considerable period of transition at the end of the framework agreement. FSCS ‘s new 5 year strategy is due to commence 1st April 2026, Technology is expected to be a key component within the strategy. Therefore we require a strategic relationship with a supplier to meet our requirements for the full duration of the strategy Please note that FSCS have not published a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice we have determined that preliminary market engagement was not necessary for this procurement.
