The Value of Using Existing Frameworks

Unlock faster, compliant procurement through the existing frameworks you already have access to.

Many public sector organisations have access to established, tried and tested frameworks — yet few are utilised to their full potential. Whether through Crown Commercial Service (CCS), NHS SBS, ESPO, YPO, NEPO, Pagabo, Fusion21, Value Match and Bloom, or regional agreements, existing frameworks can save time, reduce cost, and ensure full compliance with the Procurement Act 2023.

eXceeding helps you make the most of those frameworks. We ensure you are selecting the right route to market, applying the correct call-off procedure, and achieving demonstrable value and transparency in every procurement.

The challenge

Public sector teams often face one of two challenges with frameworks:

  • Which framework to use.
  • Fully understand the framework fees.
  • Are often used for direct award rather than further competition.
  • Understanding the individual framework call-off procedure and terms and conditions.
  • The authority doesn’t fully understand the supplier assessment undertaken to join.
  • Over-reliance frameworks are utilised as a default without strategic analysis of whether they represent the best value or fit.

Without the right understanding and governance, organisations risk inefficiency, duplication, non-compliance, lack of competition or additional hidden fees.
