Frameworks we're on

What are frameworks?

Frameworks allow a quick and easy “route to market” for public sector organisations and charities. They are set up by running a full procurement exercise to allow the buyer (or buyers) to select suitable suppliers. Suppliers are then awarded places on the framework, usually for a fixed-term period of around four years, after which no newcommissions can be added. When the buyer is ready, they will run asimplified procurement among the suppliers on this list or potentially a direct award.

- SCAPE Consultancy Framework
