Frameworks that deliver value

Who we are

We're a not-for-profit organisation providing procurement frameworks, that enable public sector organisations to deliver their essential projects – compliantly and collaboratively, with community at their heart.

Our consultancy, civil engineering, construction and utilities frameworks offer an actively managed approach, allowing you to immediately engage with the best delivery partners, to accelerate your project.

About us

Established in 2006 by six local authority shareholders, any surplus income we make is returned to the public sector – meaning we don’t just work with the public sector, we are the public sector.

We understand the challenges you face – from social value in construction to becoming net zero carbon neutral – and have developed solutions to support our shared ambitions.

Futureproof frameworks

Efficient, economic, and effective; your projects benefit from early contractor engagement, compliance, and control of projects, as well as end-to-end support throughout the project life cycle.

Fully managed frameworks give you the peace of mind you need when it comes to project delivery. And, as a public sector team, we’re committed to making a difference to our communities and environment – key agendas including social value, ethical labour, net carbon zero, equity, diversity & inclusion are all embedded within our procurement frameworks.

Value for the public sector

Our frameworks offer you increasing added value, including social value and community benefit, framework management support, and viability studies at no extra cost.

Engaging with your delivery partner early in the project allows risk to be identified, mitigated, and managed – ultimately providing you with cost certainty.
