FOI2022/00302: Framework Agreements for Call-Off Contracts

Case reference FOI2022/00302

Request

Request Received: 20 September 2022

I am doing a research project investigating call-off contracts in the public sector. I have identified some potential call-off contracts awarded by UK Research & Innovation, but I can't find details of the framework agreements they were awarded from.

I have attached an Excel file that contains the information I am looking at. The last two columns ("Title of framework used" and "Contracts Finder or TED link of framework agreement") is where I am missing information - please could you fill these in.

Please note that I have identified these contracts as possible call-off contracts, so some of them might not be. Some could be, for instance, procured directly (without being called off from a framework agreement), or could be themselves notices of the establishment of a framework agreement. Therefore I would kindly ask you to specify in these incidences what kind of procurement was used in the "Title of framework used" column.

I have provided the title, description, details of the email contact from the notice, the publication date, and procedure type used to award each potential call-off, as well as a URL link to the call-off in question and a unique reference ID for each potential call-off. Please let me know if there is anything else you need to complete the request.

If you do not feel like this request could be completed in good time, please could you work down the list and do as much of a subset as you can?
