2.2. Finding and Understanding Framework Opportunities

Frameworks are an integral part of public procurement and can be a lucrative source of business, but it’s essential to understand the Agreement. This workshop explains the types of frameworks available and what you can expect from them.

A speaker from Scotland Excel, the Centre of Procurement Expertise for the local government sector, will be in attendance at this event to discuss their framework contracts and how they work with SMEs in Scotland.

Key topics:

• What is a Framework Agreement
• What frameworks exist in Scotland 
• Methods of use
• Your expectations and rights as a supplier

This event is suitable for you if:

• You have a basic understanding of public sector procurement (completed Level 1 or have equivalent experience)
• You are considering applying to get on a Framework Agreement
