Using a framework can save significant time and money, while still delivering a service specified to local requirements, and supporting local decision making and accountability.
Benefits for LGPS Funds:
- Fast, efficient, easy to use OJEU compliant procurement frameworks that remove the need to undertake costly and time-consuming full OJEU procurement processes.
