4 Mission Statement Our Mission is to provide a professional Procurement Service to our EPS partners; meeting their requirements by consistently sourcing goods and services at best value for money, through optimum combination of whole lifecycle cost and quality/service. To provide procurement advice and training; fulfilling a positive partner/customer experience. 3
5 Introduction This document has been approved by the Finance Directors of the Partner Institutions of the EPS, which are committed to the pursuit of excellence and recognises the importance of proficient procurement practice in obtaining value for money and in ensuring that the funds of the Partner Institutions are best optimised. Background to the EPS (Formerly Shannon Consortium Procurement Network) Formed in the context of the HEA Strategic Innovation Fund Cycle Two, The Shannon Consortium Procurement Network (SCPN) was inaugurated in 2008 as a collaborative framework between University of Limerick, Mary Immaculate College, Limerick IT and IT Tralee. In 2010, 8 additional partners confirmed their intent to join the consortium namely Waterford IT, Galway Mayo IT, IT Sligo, Dundalk IT, IT Carlow, IT Tallaght, Dunlaoghaire IT and Athlone IT. Phase two of the Shannon Consortium began in January 2012 with the expansion to 12 partners in total. The SCPN creates a strategic alliance for procuring goods and services. The shared service network has responsibility for compiling and analysing data across the Consortium to identify cost saving opportunities. The network employs best practice procurement tools to assist the Consortium in maximising the value for money on expenditure in an efficient and environmentally sustainable way and ensure the partners continue to develop strong standards, based on the principles of value for money; efficient, effective and ethical use of resources with accountability and transparency in Higher Educational Institutions. The shared service is the first financial model to be implemented within the Irish Higher Education (HE) sector. The University of Limerick (UL) is the contact institution for overall co-ordination of the initiative. The Shannon Consortium Procurement Network was renamed the Education Procurement Service (EPS) in December In 2013, it was agreed that the EPS would expand to include the following new partners: University College Dublin, Dublin City University, NUI Maynooth, NUI Galway, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin IT and IT Blanchardstown. 4
6 The key objectives of the Education Procurement Service are: To deliver value for money on all non pay spends for the partner institutions. To provide the consortium partners with guidance and greater support on procurement procedures, including legal obligations under EU Directives. To provide competent administrative procedures and effective policies. To promote collaboration in the interest of sustainable procurement Scope of Services The scope of the Education Procurement Service forms the link between the Tenderers and Buyer leading the procurement process end to end, ensuring a smooth hand-over of Procurement between the Tender Team and the project execution team. This document sets out the EPS procurement procedures, the aim is to benefit all Partners in expenditure of collaborative tenders and ensure best practice Collaborative Purchasing Activity The co-ordinated approach will be facilitated via the creation of a number of user groups, consisting of key staff from each participating partner involved in purchasing significant expenditures of a particular commodity. User groups will be involved in initiating and completing competitive tendering activities for a particular commodity, and this process will be co-ordinated through the EPS Procurement Officer. Adherence to Irish Law and EU Directives The EPS places great emphasis on accountability, efficiency, transparency and value for money. It is the EPS procurement strategy that all procurement activity shall adhere to National and EU Law and is conducted in accordance with EU Procurement Directives and National Procurement Guidelines in accordance with government policy in the public service. 5
7 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Tender Process Rollout Supplier Supplier Management Escalation [ ][ ][ ][ ] Tender Start Tender End at Individual Institution Level Stage 1 The Tendering Process Tenders are advertised by the EPS on behalf of partners The latest point for an individual institute to opt in or opt out is prior to tender advertisement. Each participating partner is named on Tender documents Tender submissions are received by the EPS EPS evaluates Selection (Pass/Fail) Criteria and shortlists Bids for Evaluation of Award Criteria. Each member is represented by the business owner on the joint Evaluation Team (User group) The Evaluation of Bids shall take account of all relevant life cycle costs relating to operational needs, acquisition, servicing, performance and disposal. The Evaluation Team will decide as a group to select the preferred bid from the tender responses which may be: Single contracts for all participants with one supplier A number contracts for different groupings i.e. regional, type of service etc Single Framework agreements with a number of suppliers A panel of suppliers 6
8 Stage 2 Rollout Process The purpose of this policy document is to define the Education Procurement Service (EPS) Tender Project Rollout Process. This document also provides clarity and differentiation between (i) End of Rollout Process and (ii) on-going Supplier Management which is maintained by the partner stakeholder at individual institutional level. The rollout strategy is developed at the outset of the tender project plan. The rollout will involve the EPS Buyer and the principle Stakeholder/Budget Holder of each institution. The rollout process is outlines as follows Review of contract/tender/other docs and understand detail (if not tender lead originally probably n/a if EPS were the tender lead) Inform all stakeholders of new contract, including SLA deliverables, relevant KPIs and all relevant information for budget holder to undertake effective supplier management process. Arrange supplier/user meeting and provide any requisite training i.e. remedy directive obligations etc Direct user to supplier Advise all partners that Rollout Process now complete and Supplier Management phase now commencing which is lead and owned by Partner Budget Holder 7
9 Stage 3 Supplier Management Supplier Management shall be maintained at individual institutional level by the Budget Holders, with recommendations from EPS buyers at the rollout stage on how KPIs etc are incorporated. Stage 4 Supplier Complaints and Escalation to the EPS Purpose The purpose of this policy document is to define at what point the EPS Partner organisations may escalate a Supplier Performance issue to the relevant EPS buyer. This document also provides clarity and differentiation between (i) on-going Supplier Management which is out of scope for EPS, and (ii) the follow up Supplier Escalation Phase, which is in EPS scope, where appropriate. Assumptions Pro-active supplier management process has been engaged from commencement of Contract to point of requiring an escalation to EPS buyer. Pro-active supplier management process encompasses the following: o Clearly defined Service Level Agreement with relevant KPIs/Metrics that are established as part of the tendering process o Regular engagement with supplier providing feedback on performance and highlighting any issues. Corrective action/improvement plans agreed and monitored. o Face to face meetings where appropriate to address continuing under or non-performance to contract requirements 8
10 Escalation Process 1. Budget holder or those nominated by the budget holder is the responsible stakeholder within Partner Organisation for Escalation 2. The non-conformance to contract must be evidence based and objective 3. Following the formal supplier management process outcome, there must have been (i) formal engagement via face 2 face meetings (ii) at least three verbal warnings (and minuted) and (iii) Two written warnings issued to supplier with opportunity for supplier to provide response, corrective action plan and implement plan to address and close out all issues 4. Where there has been consistent failure to meet requirements of contract over a defined period, steps 1 3 above have been completed and above listed assumptions met, the budget holder may then escalate via a written report of non-conformance to the EPS buyer. 9
