For many organisations, securing a place on a public sector framework feels like a major milestone, but it isn’t always straightforward, and it isn’t always the right move. Clients often tell us they got onto a framework but didn’t win any work from it.

At Procter Street, we help clients cut through the noise and make informed, strategic decisions about which frameworks will deliver value.

Here are some things to consider, and how we support you at every step.

The positives of Public Sector Frameworks

Faster routes to contract

Once approved, buyers can procure without running a full tender.

A credibility boost

Framework placement acts as a quality mark, showing you’ve passed rigorous due diligence. Top tip: Always follow the marketing guidance when promoting on your socials.

Access to consistent opportunities

From minicompetitions to direct award pathways, the pipeline becomes more predictable. Top tip: check the framework portals twice a week for updates/invites.

Longer-term stability

Most frameworks run for several years, supporting clearer resource and growth planning.

The challenges (and where Procter Street steps in):

High bid effort

Framework tenders can be complex and time-consuming. We streamline the entire process, write compelling responses, and handle compliance requirements. Our technical expertise add value to your responses and can be used to support future bids.

No guaranteed revenue

Many suppliers win zero work from frameworks. We help you assess expected demand, competitor saturation, and realistic ROI before you bid.

Pricing & delivery restrictions

Fixed pricing models and rigid scope can limit profitability. We advise on pricing strategies and ensure commercial models are sustainable.

Supplier oversubscription

Some frameworks are packed with vendors, making it harder to win call-offs. We help you target frameworks where you can genuinely stand out.

Our Approach at Procter Street

We don’t just help you apply for frameworks, we help you win from them. Here’s what we bring to the table:

Market intelligence: assessing which frameworks buyers actually use

Bid readiness & compliance: ensuring you score highly on quality and capability

Expert bid writing: clear, persuasive, and evaluator ‑friendly responses

Postaward strategy‑award strategy helping you build visibility and win mini‑competitions

Ongoing partnership: keeping your pipeline healthy and your position competitive

Because for us, it’s not about saying “yes” to every framework. It’s about choosing the ones that align with your strengths and turning them into real, measurable growth.
