The intention is to go live with the tender within the next 7 days (but this not guaranteed).

The advisors appointed to the framework shall have: Expertise and experience in the sector and specialism they have indicated, Significant demonstrable skills, Evidence of acting as a lead technical advisor in the delivery of related projects, and Been involved in relevant published work. This is anticipated to be an Open Framework Agreement, which will operate for a maximum of 8 years.

Existing suppliers will remain on the Framework for the full duration, subject to performance and continued eligibility. Re-openings will be conducted via a new procurement process under the Open Framework provisions of the UK Procurement Act 2023. Organisations may apply to be on more than one lot if they wish and they have relevant experience.
