Frameworks
The following is a list of COI frameworks (also known as rosters) giving a description for each framework agreement, the start date and end date, a copy of the framework agreement terms and conditions and a copy of the OJEU notice.
COI seeks to work with its clients in as flexible way as possible. However, because COI acts as a central purchasing body in the context of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006, COI must issue all contracts awarded under these frameworks. If you are a public sector organisation and wish to procure a supplier using any of our frameworks please read about our flexible procurement offer.
If you are a supplier with any questions, or a procurement specialist with any legal queries, regarding the frameworks please contact COI Procurement.
The title of each framework links to a list of the suppliers that have been selected for inclusion on that framework and, if applicable, the Lots and Labels that they have been selected for inclusion onto.
