Custom Framework design and end‑to‑end management services to streamline complex procurements for UK Public Bodies.
Why work with us
CPRAS can design and create Frameworks to meet any procurement need or challenge your organisation faces, saving you the cost, time and resources of going out to tender yourselves.
01
The framework design process is fully adaptable and built to align with your organisation’s requirements, priorities and timelines. As we recognise that Public Bodies are increasingly resource‑limited, our teams undertake the extensive administrative workload for you, while you retain full authority over every key decision and final sign‑off.
02
Frameworks developed on your behalf are fully compliant under the Procurement Act 2023 and are provided with a complete audit report, reducing any risks of challenge. Extensive KPI reporting, contract management and analysis tools are built into our systems to ensure compliance is maintained throughout your contracts.
03
We will seek collaboration opportunities with similar organisations to benefit from best practice and leverage scale; for example our Temporary and Specialist Accommodation Open Framework has eleven Co-Contracting Authorities collaborating to uncover the most optimal solutions.
04
There is no cost to this service for any UK Public Bodies, and no usage or minimum spend obligations once your project is live, meaning we are incentivised at every stage to create the most optimal solution that you will want to use.

Case study
Warwick District Council
Bespoke Procurement
Warwick District Council used our Bespoke Procurement Service to develop a nationwide Printing Products and Services Open Framework. CPRAS carried out extensive market research and developed the project to deliver market-leading services for any public sector printing requirement.
Using the CPRAS Procurement Support Platform has been highly efficient.
As was promised, it has it saved us huge amounts of legwork and, more importantly time.
The depth of research that underpins this procurement is not easily resourced by a Public Body and the benefits of building the Specifications, and other key documentation, based on this research are “exemplary”.
But perhaps even more significantly, the Support Platform will deliver a transformative system for quantifying, managing and reducing the Carbon Footprint of the products we buy as well as ensuring best value.
With KPI reporting and contract management built-in, we couldn’t be more delighted with our decision to use the Platform. The knowledge and support offered by the team at CPRAS has been of an extremely high level, and they have been highly amenable, understanding, informative and efficient.
