What's up
for renewal?

It depends on the value and what you're buying. Above the Procurement Act thresholds you need a compliant procedure, and a DfE-approved framework is often the quickest way to get one. Below them, your own financial regulations and the Academy Trust Handbook still expect you to show value for money. We'll tell you which applies and the simplest compliant route.

Most of the service tenders we run are awarded within about three months of kick-off. Complex ICT projects take around four. Mobilisation usually takes six to ten weeks after award, so start well before your current contract ends.

We agree a fee before any work starts, based on the scope and how much of the process you want us to handle. The first conversation is free, and you'll know exactly what you're paying for before you commit.

Yes. Some clients ask us to write the specification, run the evaluation or check documents before they publish. Others want the whole tender handled. We fit around your team.

For cleaning and catering, TUPE usually applies. We gather the staff information, build it into the tender, support consultations and manage the handover so staff and pupils see as little disruption as possible.

Mostly schools and multi-academy trusts, plus central government and other public bodies. We work across England and the wider UK, with recent projects in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire, Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
