Framework
An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
Open for bids / closing date
You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
Clarification questions
A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
Conditions of participation
What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
Bids are scored on
How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
Lots
A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
Area (ITL)
The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
UK4 and other notice codes
Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description

Cantium Business Solutions and its trading brands (Cantium) is a Local Authority trading company (LATCo). We operate as part of the Global Commercial Services Group of companies (CSG) ultimately owned by Kent County Council (KCC). Cantium therefore plays a vital role in supporting both the public sector and the interests of the wider community. Cantium Business Solutions is looking to appoint one or more preferred suppliers for delivery of Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution including associated hardware and services for use by ourselves and to our customers. This Agreement shall commence on 20th June 2027 and shall continue in force for up to 36 months unless terminated in accordance with the partner contractual conditions or extended in accordance with clause 2.8. The buyer has the right to request up to two x 12-month extensions to this contract, providing the supplier with a minimum notice of 30 days prior to the contract end date. Therefore, the maximum possible contract length will be 60 months. Any contractual offer made will be against a zero-value agreement as any sales will be based on best value for our customers. However, the total contract value over the 60 month period is estimated at circa £16million inclusive of VAT.
