Commercial, Contractual, & Technical Flexibility

We can advise on the right call off and contract option for your project. With up to 8 forms of contract to choose from, we can also support with suggesting amendments, sense checking cost plans, and much more.

Financial Due-Dilligence

As part of our financial due diligence checks, we actively monitor supplier payment practices.

Using fair payment as a KPI, we track that suppliers are paying invoices within 30 days, helping to identify potential solvency issues or payment delays early.

 

The Procurement Policy Note 018 (PPN 018) requires suppliers to pay 95% of invoices within 60 days (90% with an action plan), our approach safeguards programme continuity and ensures invoices are paid within 30 days, a month ahead of the national policy expectations. 

Regular Auditing

At Procure Partnerships Framework, performance management is embedded at both project and framework level, with pre-established KPIs spanning Cost, Time, Health & Safety, Sustainability, Fair Payment, and Client Satisfaction. Contractors report monthly via a secure cloud-based platform, providing real-time data across all live projects. This continuous monitoring allows us to identify emerging risks early, intervene proactively, and ensure that corrective action is applied consistently across the portfolio.

Social Value is Contractual

We mandate a minimum of 12% social value add on every project, with our contractor partners achieving an average of 62% social value add. Contractors are permitted to report on social value monthly, with all evidence being verified by a Social Value Advisor. Quarterly audits are also undertaken to push social value performance and celebrate successes. Find out more about our social value offering.

Strict Performance Standards

The framework enforces rigorous performance standards, with all KPIs benchmarked against an 80% threshold. Metrics like cost variance, programme adherence, and accident-free weeks provide quantitative insight, while client satisfaction surveys capture qualitative feedback. In addition, we mandate that pre-construction remains transparent and open book, ensuring contractors provide a minimum of 3 quotes on all packages.

Accountability

Social value is not an afterthought, but a contractual requirement across every framework project. We mandate a minimum of 12% social value add (SVA) on all projects, though our contractor partners consistently exceed this, delivering an average of 62% SVA, equating to £144.7 million in the last year alone.
