Yes. The framework was procured in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

How we guarantee value for money
What are the procurement timescales associated with using the framework?
When using the Procure Partnerships Framework, the average time to complete a tender process is typically 4–6 weeks for construction projects and 2–4 weeks for professional services, depending on project complexity and procurement route. By accessing our pre-qualified contractors and consultants, who undergo regular financial and quality compliance checks, our trusted partners are immediately available to participate in new procurements, removing lengthy vetting and onboarding stages for framework users. This approach reduces average time to market by 2–3 months compared to an open tender process. The framework is designed to optimise speed, with most projects moving from initiation to appointment within a 6-week period, delivering measurable cost and efficiency advantages.
How does the framework effectively manage performance, reduce risk and effectively resolve disputes?
A free project management platform is provided to framework users to support performance monitoring, risk management, and dispute resolution. The platform enables real-time oversight of financial status, compliance, KPIs, and supply chain health, producing auditable dashboards to support governance and early risk identification. Performance standards are enforced through structured reviews and a penalty points mechanism, allowing early intervention and ensuring only compliant and suitably resourced contractors and consultants continue to be appointed.
How can the Procure Partnerships team support organisations with limited procurement resources?
The Procure Partnerships Framework team provides end-to-end procurement and commercial support for organisations with limited internal resource, acting as an extension of the client’s procurement function. Support includes market engagement, tender preparation and issue, management of clarifications and evaluations, and compliance oversight, with post-award performance monitored through Compliance Chain, including financial and supply chain health and enforcement via a penalty points system. The framework offers multiple compliant call-off routes, including single-stage, two-stage (including express), and direct award, all structured to ensure fairness, transparency, and regulatory compliance. The team provides guidance, documentation, supplier management, and publication of all required notices, enabling efficient, legally compliant, and risk-managed procurement and contract award.
How does the framework have a positive impact on the local regional economy & what is its commitment to delivery through the local supply chain?
The framework positively impacts local and regional economies through its division into regional lots, ensuring that contractors, consultants, and their supply chains are local to the project area, supporting regional economic growth and employment. Delivery through local supply chains within a 30-mile radius of project sites are benchmarked and monitored as key performance indicators within the framework’s social value and procurement strategy. Projects routinely surpass minimum targets for local employment and SME inclusion, contributing meaningfully to workforce development and local business sustainability. In 2024/25, the framework generated £117 million in local supply chain spend, created 398 jobs, and supported 2,442 weeks of apprenticeships. Aligning with government priorities, the framework actively promotes procurement opportunities for local SMEs, apprenticeship programmes, and social enterprises, to drive regional prosperity.
How does the framework support pre-construction activity through to project delivery?
The framework provides robust pre-construction support, enabling collaborative design development, thorough risk analysis, technical solutions, and early contractor and consultant engagement to ensure projects are set up for success. Project-specific KPIs for quality, risk, and value are established and continuously monitored by the Procure Partnerships team throughout each phase, driving accountability and high performance. Framework users benefit from flexibility in delivery methods, including Design & Build or Traditional, and can novate consultants to meet local or project-specific needs. From initial planning through to handover, the framework supports ongoing project management, regular reporting, and proactive intervention, helping to identify and address emerging risks to support successful delivery.
