Frameworks exist to support Procurement teams in reducing procurement time and costs, while maintaining compliance, and demonstrating value for money. By using a framework, Contracting Authorities can rest assured that suppliers have been pre-vetted to offer the best value and quality reducing procurement risk. At Portakabin we have been awarded places with a variety of framework suppliers to enable Contracting Authorities the choice of the provider which suits their needs best.
The procurement route via a framework means you can rest assured that we’ve already met and passed stringent controls. You’ll be working with the best possible supplier.
Direct award is especially beneficial if your timescales are tight.
