Please read the 'How to buy' tab below for detailed instructions on how to find out which suppliers are on this framework.
How to buy
This is a single supplier framework and customers can buy by direct award.
To place a direct award:
- Confirm that framework schedule 2: Goods and services and key performance indicators (specification) meets your requirements
- Decide if you will be accessing the agreement via your own contract or as part of a collaborative contract with your department or other organisations – it is not advisable to add additional customers retrospectively
- Complete and agree your contract with the supplier
- Quote the framework title and reference number (RM3797) on the contract.
