Appoint us to a framework

It’s our job to create places that inspire, respect the environment, and deliver value for users, owners and investors.

When we embark on a journey, we work with you shoulder-to-shoulder. This includes recognising that our clients often need to demonstrate best value through competition, whilst minimising the cost and time taken to procure effectively.

These OJEU-compliant frameworks provide a range of flexible and robust procurement routes making it quicker and more cost-effective for the public sector to procure our services.

They’ve all been tendered in the open market, with rates, procurement processes and T&Cs that give you the certainty that your approach is sound.

A selection of our current framework solutions is provided below.
