Digital Partner Panel

Accordingly, WFD intends to procure a multi-provider framework agreement to provide technical services to support WFD's capacity and capability for effective online engagement and digital delivery.

Successful bidders will be invited to join a WFD Digital Partner Panel consisting of one or more suppliers for a period of two years.

Each Digital Partner will be subject to a framework agreement, which will establish the common core terms and conditions governing any order contracts to be awarded over a two-year period, together with agreed pricing, services, and specification. A framework agreement does not guarantee the award of any business to a Panel member, but it does establish a preferred and available pool of Digital Partners for WFD to contract with, if and when WFD decides that it wishes to purchase services that are within the scope of the Panel and framework agreement. Order contracts may take place as and when required within the duration of the framework and may be issued to a Digital Partner on a single source basis or following a mini competition among Panel members, as appropriate.

The envisaged services to be purchased from Digital Partners are summarised into 5 LOTs. The full specification of which can be viewed by the link below.
