Framework assistance in Lincolnshire

Most public sector construction work in Lincolnshire is bought through frameworks. We help contractors find the right ones, put in submissions that actually score, and manage performance afterwards so the call offs keep coming.

Getting appointed is only half the job

Winning a place on a framework puts you in the running. What happens next decides whether you get any work from it. Clients look at your KPIs, your reporting and how easy you were to deal with last time before they decide who to invite to the next mini competition. We help on both sides of that line: building submissions that answer what is being scored, and then managing performance and the client relationship so your position on the framework turns into a steady flow of call offs rather than a certificate on the wall.

We have written these submissions ourselves

One of our directors managed public sector procurement and tender submissions at a major Lincolnshire contractor. We are an approved supplier on the Pagabo Small Works DPS for schemes up to £3m, we hold a two year external works contract with City of Lincoln Council, and we are delivering a £400k accessibility and community facility project for North Kesteven District Council.

Want more public sector work?

Whether you are trying to get onto your first framework, have an application due and no time to write it, or you are on a framework that is not producing any work, we would be glad to talk it through. Tell us where you are and we will give you an honest view.

Common questions about framework assistance

Not sure which frameworks matter, or why your submissions keep falling short? Here are the questions contractors ask us most across Lincoln and Lincolnshire.
Why do we need to be on a framework at all?

Because a large share of public sector construction work in Lincolnshire is bought through frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems rather than advertised individually. If you are not on the right ones, you never see the opportunity in the first place. Getting appointed puts you in the room, and performance decides how often you get invited back.

How do we know which frameworks are worth applying for?

By looking at who actually buys the work you want. Councils, schools and colleges, health bodies and housing providers each tend to use particular routes, and the right framework depends on your value band, your sectors and where you can realistically work. We help you shortlist the ones worth the effort rather than applying for everything and winning nothing.

We keep scoring badly on quality. What are we doing wrong?

Usually answering the question you wish had been asked rather than the one on the page. Quality responses are marked against published criteria, and evaluators can only award marks for what is actually written down. Good answers are specific, evidenced, tied to the project in front of them and structured so a marker can find each point without hunting for it.

What is social value and how much does it matter?

Social value covers the wider benefit your work brings, such as local employment, apprenticeships, spend with local suppliers and community involvement. It carries real weight in public sector evaluation. The commitments need to be specific and deliverable, because they get measured after award, and over promising creates a problem later.

Do you have experience of public sector work yourselves?

We do. One of our directors managed public sector procurement and tender submissions at a major Lincolnshire contractor, we are an approved supplier on the Pagabo Small Works DPS for schemes up to £3m, and we hold a two year external works contract with City of Lincoln Council. We are also delivering a £400k accessibility and community facility project for North Kesteven District Council in Sleaford.
