Benefits of Our Framework Agreements

Our framework agreements are designed to ensure competitive pricing, help drive savings and improve efficiencies. To allow more flexibility, customers have the ability to directly call-off from a framework or run a mini-competition. Frameworks offer a compliant route to market, providing a comprehensive choice of suppliers and excellent geographic coverage. Frameworks are easy to access and utilise.

Flexible Options to Suit You

Depending on your needs, we can arrange one-off access to certain framework contracts to meet a specific demand. Alternatively, we can offer you access to our full portfolio of framework agreements, enabling you to shift away from simply buying at the lowest price and towards procurement based on total cost of ownership. Whatever procurement support you need, we have flexible options for you.

Specialist Support and Advice

Our specialist category managers have a wealth of experience working across corporate services and healthcare. The category managers, along with their teams, can provide bespoke, specialist support with running mini-competitions as well as project based work, which includes opportunities analysis to deliver cost savings, improving quality and driving efficiencies. Our category teams are here to offer you the support and advice you need.
