Frameworks FAQ

Framework procurement is a method of appointing contractors and suppliers through pre-agreed terms and conditions. It enables customers to access delivery partners without the need for repeated full tender processes.

UK public procurement is governed by the Procurement Act 2023 and the Procurement Regulations 2024. These laws apply to central government, local authorities, the NHS, and other public sector contracting authorities. All public sector procurement must prioritise value for money, transparency, and fair competition.

Framework procurement supports more efficient project delivery. Key benefits include:

  • reduced procurement timelines and faster access to delivery partners,
  • cost savings due to reduced timescales,
  • consistent quality across construction projects,
  • improved collaboration between stakeholders with greater transparency and accountability, and
  • compliance with UK procurement regulations.

  • navigate procurement requirements with confidence and compliance,
