Request

Request Received: 4 July 2022

I am writing to you following a request to UK Shared Business Services, as they have advised yourselves to be the data holder for the following contract:

Title:

UKRI RE21695 MiSeq Silver Support Plan- Framework Direct award

Description:

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a Direct award against Framework. Award notice for MiSeq Silver Support Plan UKRI, MRC.

I had requested information from UKSBS regarding which framework agreement was used in the procurement of the above contract. However, they advised that yourselves are the data holders for this information, and that they did not have the answer to my question. Would you be able to briefly advise on this matter?

What I am looking for is the name of the framework agreement this contract was called off from (e.g., CCS G-Cloud 12, or NHS SBS's Construction Consultancy Services 2). If it is a rarer or internal framework agreement or DPS, I would appreciate if you could provide a link to the framework's Contract Finder or TED listing.
