The Association of North East Councils Limited
NEPRO Four
Framework ceiling £6,000,000,000 — the most the agreement may spend across all suppliers and call-offs, not a contract value

24% of The Association of North East Councils Limited’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
NEPO seeks to establish a Framework Agreement for Specialist Professional Services ("NEPRO Four").
It is envisaged NEPRO Four will operate as a Neutral Vendor Managed Service vehicle for the delivery of Specialist Professional Services.
The Neutral Vendor will not provide Specialist Professional Services in its own right and must maintain neutrality at all times when selecting suitable suppliers to deliver services under the Framework Agreement.
NEPO's existing Framework Agreement for Specialist Professional Services (NEPRO Three) will expire on 31st August 2029.
For the avoidance of doubt, NEPO seeks to procure a single provider solution to manage a perpetual supply chain, capable of delivering a full spectrum of Specialist Professional Services.
The scope of services covered under NEPRO Four will not include Temporary or Permanent Recruitment.
The solution will be procured using the procedures outlined in the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023).
