Framework Pipeline Report
Know which frameworks to bid for, and when
There are hundreds of public sector frameworks, with overlapping scopes and application windows that open and close on their own timetables. We map the ones that fit your business into a two-year plan, with timelines, spend data and the effort each will take, so you can budget for them and stop finding out too late.

Why it matters
Why framework timing decides who gets in
Think of frameworks as trains leaving a station. Some come round regularly: open frameworks such as Digital Outcomes and Specialists reopen every 18 months. Others leave once and don't come back for years. Network Services 4 is a closed framework, so suppliers who missed its application window in October 2026 can't join until it's replaced.
Miss the right train and you're locked out of the buyers who use it. Catch the wrong one and you've spent weeks of your team's time on a framework your buyers rarely touch. Knowing the timetable in advance is what lets you plan, budget and prepare properly.
- Never miss a window on a framework your buyers rely on
- Budget and resource ahead, instead of scrambling when a tender lands
- Focus where the money is, on frameworks your buyers and competitors actually use
What's in your report
A two-year framework plan, built around your business
Not a generic list of every framework going. Your report covers the frameworks and lots that match your services, and tells you what to do about each one.

A two-year timeline
Expected and confirmed tenders and re-openings, with the dates as published and how firm each one is.
Spend and buyer data
How much flows through each framework and which buyers use it, wherever that data is published.
Who you'll compete with
Which of your competitors already hold places, taken from the published supplier lists.
Effort and potential return
What each application involves, from certifications to evidence, weighed against what the framework could be worth to you.
Clear recommendations
Which frameworks to prioritise, which to skip, and when to start preparing for each.
How it works
Three steps, one clear plan
- 1
Scoping call
Thirty minutes on your services, target buyers, competitors and the frameworks you already hold.
- 2
Research and report
A day of specialist research into the frameworks that fit, written up as your two-year plan.
- 3
Follow-up call
Thirty minutes to walk you through the findings, answer questions and agree what to do first.
Open or closed: why it matters
Under the Procurement Act 2023, some frameworks are open frameworks that reopen to new suppliers during their life. Others stay closed for their whole term.
Your report tells you which is which, so you know whether a missed window means a wait of months or of years, and can plan around it.
Who it's for
- Suppliers new to frameworks who want to know where to start
- Suppliers on one or two frameworks who want to expand into more
- Commercial and bid leads setting next year's budget and resource plan
- Anyone who has missed a framework window and doesn't want to again

Framework Pipeline Report: your questions answered
What is a Framework Pipeline Report?
A plan of the public sector frameworks that fit your business over the next two years: when they're expected to open, what it takes to get on, how much is spent through them, who you'll compete with, and which ones to prioritise.
Couldn't we research this ourselves?
You could, but it takes a lot of time. Framework information is spread across different buying organisations and notices, scopes overlap, and dates often move. We already follow the market every week, so we can give you a clear answer in a fraction of the time.
Which frameworks do you cover?
Any that are relevant to what you sell. For technology suppliers, that usually means the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) frameworks such as G-Cloud, Digital Outcomes and Specialists and Technology Services, alongside NHS and other public sector buying organisations' frameworks where they fit.
How reliable are the dates?
We use dates as published by the buying organisations, and we're clear about how firm each one is. Expected dates do move, which is exactly why planning early matters: you'll be ready whether a window opens on time or not.
What do you need from us?
Thirty minutes for the scoping call, where we'll ask about your services, target buyers, main competitors and any frameworks you already hold. We do the rest.
Will you recommend frameworks we shouldn't apply for?
Yes. If a framework isn't a good fit, or the effort outweighs the likely return, we'll say so. Knowing what to skip saves you as much as knowing what to go for.
What happens after the report?
That's up to you. Many suppliers use it to plan their own applications. If you'd like help, we can manage the applications for you, but there's no obligation.
How much does it cost?
It's a fixed fee, covering the scoping call, the report and the follow-up call. We'll confirm it before we start, so there are no surprises.
