Italy – Stationery – FORNITURA DI CANCELLERIA E CARTA MEDIANTE CATALOGO ELETTRONICO, COMPRENSIVA DI TRASPORTO (CONSEGNA) E RELATIVI SERVIZI ACCESSORI

Framework Agreement with a single operator under Article 59, paragraph 3 of the Code, for the supply, through an electronic catalogue, of stationery and paper, including transport (delivery) and related ancillary services for Rai S.p.A. and its subsidiaries, namely Rai Com S.p.A. Rai Cinema S.p.A. and Rai Pubblicità S.p.A. To enable competitive comparison, a basket of products has been identified based on historical consumption and is representative of the main procurement categories of the contracting authority, divided into the two product categories of stationery and paper for photocopying and printing. It is also envisaged to procure items not included in the basket, but belonging to the same product categories subject to the award, and, to this end, the successful tenderer must make its electronic product catalogue available, which, attached to the Framework Agreement, will constitute the contractual reference for the acquisition of products not included in the basket and may be updated during execution by adding new items or replacing products no longer marketed. This approach allows for competitive comparison on the component most representative of the company's consumption, while ensuring the necessary flexibility to acquire additional items belonging to the same product categories, which cannot be quantitatively estimated in advance, maintaining economic conditions consistent with those resulting from the tender procedure. The Technical Specification, to which reference is made, also provides for the following ancillary services: - provision of an e-procurement platform capable of managing an unlimited number of navigation profiles and that allows the functionalities set out in the Technical Specification, including, by way of example, consultation of an electronic catalogue and extraction of detailed summary reports; - activation of a call centre service from 09:00 to 17:00 on all working days; - quarterly reporting of aggregated data per individual product category; - packaging, transport and delivery to the floor (so-called delivery point) at the locations indicated in the Technical Specification and distributed throughout the national territory. In particular, it is required that the supply be managed by means of orders on a dedicated global electronic catalogue, with characteristics and functionalities (consultation, article search, order dispatch, etc.) corresponding to what is described in the Technical Specification and related appendices. Therefore, a necessary condition for the correct execution of the supply is that each competitor offers the possibility of having its own "internet portal" where the products subject to its sales list are listed, made visible and available for purchase via "electronic shopping cart", as described in the Technical Specification. The supply is also inclusive of all costs related to transport, packaging and protection until delivery. The supply is inclusive of the technical and safety data sheets of the materials supplied and of the declarations of conformity issued by the manufacturer in accordance with the law. For a detailed description of the technical and functional characteristics of the supply as well as the modalities for its execution, reference is made to the technical documentation attached to the aforementioned RdA. With regard to the supply of paper, the Minimum Environmental Criteria for the supply of paper in reams (so-called CAM) set out in the Decree of the Ministry of the Environment and the Protection of Land and Sea of 4 April 2013 are relevant.
