Procurement Plus
You are on the framework. This is how you stay in the market.
Getting listed is a project. Staying commercially active on a framework is not, and most suppliers have nobody whose job it is. Procurement Plus gives you a named adviser, handles the framework admin you have to do anyway, and watches the market on your behalf between bids.
- 100% listing success rate on G-Cloud
- 97% average quality score across other frameworks
- Over £2.5bn of business influenced
- 12+ years in the public sector

Why Advice Cloud
- We are independent. We do not resell, we are tied to no supplier, and we have no reason to tell you what you want to hear.
- We manage framework applications every working day, so our advice reflects what buyers and the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) are doing now, not what was true last year.
- Every assessment is delivered by a public sector procurement specialist, not a generalist bid consultant.
- We have been delivering framework listings since 2012, across almost 400 competitive listings on 22 agreements.
"I wish I'd known about Advice Cloud sooner... they have helped us win over £104m since we started working with them. We hugely value their partnership."
