Procurement Frameworks
Introduction
A procurement framework is an agreement between a public organisation (e.g., a local authority (LA) or housing association (HA) and suppliers.

Welcome to the Quick Guide: Procurement Frameworks
Frameworks can be set up and run by LAs or other public sector bodies, but they can also be set up and run by separate framework provider organisations. The organisation leading the framework runs a procurement process that complies with the necessary regulations. The suppliers that tender successfully can then be seen as a cohort, who can be called on for project work by users of the framework.
This quick guide will set out the different types of procurement frameworks that are available, before providing advice on next steps you could take if using one.
