Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Purpose:

Content: AGREED: that the commencement of the re-procurement of the current Neutral Vendor Managed Services (currently under lot 11 – SEWTAPS) into its own Framework Agreement be agreed - Neutral Vendor Managed Services for Technical and Professional Services (neutaps).   The Neutral Vendor Managed Service (“NVMS”) is currently being delivered under lot 11 of the South East Wales Technical and Professional Services Framework (SEWTAPS). Due to the current usage and demand for a NVMS, the Council intends to create a separate Framework agreement to avoid overspend under SEWTAPS and to continue the success for a compliant route to market for these services. The framework will be managed by Cardiff Council (Ardal Procurement).  

Date of Decision: October 21, 2025
