For Buyers
Public sector procurement departments across the country are all too familiar with how hard it is to buy from frameworks. Multiple sites with different layouts and poor and fragmented data makes finding the right framework and the right supplier very difficult.
Framespan brings all this data together, directly from the framework provider. Presented in a single, easily searchable directory, buyers can save time by quickly assessing the whole market.
For Suppliers
Suppliers often find that after going through all the hard work getting themselves onto a framework, they are not easily found by the buying community. Knowing when new frameworks are launching or expiring as well as knowing which frameworks their competitors are on take a lot of management.
Framespan enables suppliers to showcase their company, list the frameworks they are on and be contacted directly by the procurement department. Notifications can be set up for new and expiring frameworks to make it much easier to keep track of opportunities in the market.
For Framework Providers
Just as it is difficult for buyers to find the right framework, it is equally hard for framework providers to have their frameworks discovered.
Framespan displays frameworks in a simple table, displaying the essential data for the buyer to find. Framework providers are able to self-manage their data, company profile and users so that they can help the buyer make the right procurement choices.
