Procurement Process. 6.1 It is proposed that the Framework Agreement for additional SIL placements is procured using the open tendering procedure following all EU Procurement Regulations for Part B services and other requirements. This is because: A large number of suppliers are required for the Framework Agreement; An open tendering procedure provides the best opportunity for all suppliers to access the Framework Agreement; An open tendering procedure takes into account the immaturity of the market and reduces the burden on suppliers with little tendering experience. An open tender also ensures that SMEs are not excluding from tendering at the qualification stage, allowing them to potentially be evaluated on their service delivery.
