SUPC awards and manages Framework Agreements on behalf of its
members and the members of participating purchasing consortia. The
framework will be awarded for 36 months plus 1 option to extend by up to
12months. Spend through the existing SUPC agreement is approximately
50,000,000 GBP per annum. There is however no guaranteed level of
expenditure on this Agreement; the competitiveness, level of service offered,
and marketing effort of the chosen suppliers will be a large factor in
determining how many institutions support the Agreement.
