These agreements take on even greater importance under the Procurement Act 2023, with greater emphasis on transparency, competition and sustainability. What Are FrameworkAgreements?
The UK Government procured 72% of its large contracts through frameworkagreements in 2021-22 compared to 43% in 2018-19. Of the 235 large contracts recorded on the public contracts database ' Find a Tender ' between January 2021 and January 2023, 20% of contracts that used open competition only received one bid.

We are delighted to announce the establishment of a new National FrameworkAgreement for the supply of Web Based and Proprietary Devices. The framework provides Scottish public sector bodies with access to Chromebook, Windows SE, Apple, Microsoft, Thin Client and Open Source Tablet Devices.

It is not always about the lowest price but also about quality, experience, and value for money when selecting the best supplier for the job.
Framework Public Bodies will be notified in advance of the effective date of any new pricing and a new Lyreco catalogue will be uploaded in due course. We have cross sectoral representation on our user intelligence group developing the procurement strategy and we are aiming to have the framework available around April 2025.
