The purpose of the Aggregator Framework is twofold. First, to provide an overall better price for the whole of the public sector for a multiple number of goods, services and works. Second, to provide a low profit, high social value driven Service Provider — ‘The Aggregator’.

This single supplier Framework will see the successful Bidder, (the ‘Aggregator’) delivering a wide range of goods, works, and services to Genesis and other contracting authorities. The Aggregator will combine the value of the spend of many public sector bodies and private sector firms to strike the most competitive deals for Customers.

As well as providing value for money, by reducing transaction costs and leveraging the buying power of public and private sector customers, some of the savings achieved will be used to pursue Customers' social value projects.

The Supplier of the Aggregator Service will provide the following services:

1) A range of aggregated supplies. The Aggregator will use their supply chain expertise to leverage the buying power of the Framework Users to secure the best prices. The supplier shall, therefore, actively identify supplies, secure the best price, and terms and conditions for those supplies and make them available to Customers through the Framework.

2) Supplies will be accessed through an internet portal which will be fully equipped with purchase to pay systems, membership systems, and a quotation system.
