Why Frameworks Matter

Frameworks allow public sector organisations to buy faster, reduce risk, and achieve better value, without having to run a full tender every time.
Done well, they bring structure, PCR 2023 compliance, and efficiency. Done poorly, they can create complexity and limit supplier engagement.

At eXceeding, we help public sector organisations design, implement and fully manage PCR 2023 compliant frameworks that deliver real-world benefits for buyers and suppliers alike.

University of Sheffield

We supported the University of Sheffield to transform its procurement approach for a multi-million-pound managed service contract. The university needed independent expertise to assess the existing arrangement, define the future requirements and run a fully auditable tender process. eXceeding led the end-to-end procurement, from requirements gathering through to supplier evaluation and contract award — ensuring transparency, defensibility and measurable value. The result was improved commercial outcomes, enhanced supplier accountability and a contract structure fully aligned to the university’s long-term strategy.
