The Neutral Vendor Managed Services (“NVMS”) is currently being delivered under the South East Wales Technical and Professional Services Framework (Lot 11). Due to the popularity of Lot 11 and value of services provided, it will exceed the value cap of the existing SEWTAPS Framework. The Council therefore proposes to allow Lot 11 to expire on the current Framework and to run an open tender process to appoint a suitably qualified Neutral Vendor Service Provider(s) into a new separate Framework Agreement. Lots 1-10 on the existing SEWTAPS Framework will be extended as provided for in the Framework.
