About us

• All Government Procurement Service framework suppliers have already been subject to a rigorous OJEU competition to gain a place on the frameworks
• 12 of these have been selected on the basis of demonstrable whole life value for money, which is fully auditable
• Therefore, the requirement for at least three competitive quotes should already have been satisfied

The frameworks can be used for any value of commission and provide clarity and contractual rigour in terms of the scope, quality and pricing of projects.  It would also allow the scope of services to be increased after appointment without involving the OJEU aggregation rules

The OJEU process can be stopped at any time prior to the issue of the Contract Award Notice and the Buying Solutions frameworks used in lieu, saving both time and money, whilst complying with EU legislation.

• As Capita Symonds is one of only a couple of suppliers on the framework appointed on the basis of being able to deliver all of the services in-house, we are able to include other suppliers as part of our team without further procurement - if this will deliver best value and support the delivery of a project for our clients
• Having the capability and experience to deliver ‘end to end’ multi-disciplinary services, we understand how to effectively incorporate other consultants in to our fully integrated teams; equally, we understand how to integrate our individual disciplines in to other consultants’ teams
