Whether you’ve just taken on a new role or inherited the procurement process, we’re here to help you understand what’s needed, where there may be challenges, and how to do it all with confidence.
A framework agreement is a pre-agreed arrangement that a ‘contracting authority’ (e.g. a public sector buying organisation) makes with one or more suppliers of goods, works or services. It sets the terms under which you can make purchases from those suppliers.
Why using a framework makes sense
Quicker: avoids the lengthy timescales needed for open competition processes;
Easier: pre-agreed processes and terms help you avoid admin-heavy quote and competition processes;
Compliant: all of the key terms have already been pre-agreed;
Flexible: Buy what you need when you need it. Set your own contract lengths. Add your own contract terms to comply with your school/trust’s policies;
Free: use it whenever you want without charge and with no obligation to buy;
Supported: you’re not left to figure it out on your own.
What’s the catch?
There isn’t one. We’re funded by suppliers, not schools. You stay in control and only use us when it helps.
