Description

LUPC is conducting a market exercise to determine the suitability or otherwise of using a Voluntary ex ante transparency notice procedure for the creation of a framework for the procurement of mobile phones that have been produced with the aim of minimising their social and environmental impact. This includes the current single provider to the current agreement, Your Co-op for the supply of Fairphone devices. Interested parties are required to meet various conditions including the right to sell to business customers in the UK while also being able to sell to Higher Education staff and students, the use of conflict free minerals including Fairtrade certified gold or equivalent, the protection of the employment rights of workers throughout the supply chain including wages above the in-country minimum wage line and a device design that is both end-user repairable and with extended software support to maximize the phone’s useful life.
