Circular 06/12 was recently issued. This
notifies public bodies of the mandatory requirement, from 1
September 2012, to utilise central contracts put in place by the
National Procurement Service when procuring a range of commonly
acquired goods and services. The goods and services concerned are
set out in the Annex with details of the relevant
frameworks.
Where a public body already has contracts in place for the
categories of goods and services covered by the mandatory
arrangements, it is expected that the public body will transition
to the NPS arrangements on expiry of the contracts currently in
place.
