TEAM Safety Services Is The No. 1 SEC Compliance Consultant for Fire Safety

What are the SEC Frameworks?

Publicly funded bodies must abide by UK procurement law when spending money on goods and services. This ensures public money is spent transparently and fairly.

A procurement framework, like the SEC's Compliance Consultancy framework, is one way in which organisations can comply with these regulations. Any publicly funded body can access the framework for free and will be supported throughout the procurement process.

The SEC removes the need for the lengthy tender process, as companies within the framework have already been pre-priced and pre-approved.

What is a Procurement Framework?

It’s an arrangement where an organisation, such as the SEC, identifies a shortlist of suppliers who are able to deliver certain works or services. When the SEC sets up a framework, they design the specification and check suppliers for quality, price and financial standing.

The highest scoring suppliers are then awarded to the final framework, and we are proud to be ranked number 1 for the Fire Consultancy framework.

Once the framework is awarded, it is live for 4 years. No new suppliers can join the framework during that time, and customers are able to “call-off” individual contracts from the framework.

What are the benefits of using a framework?

You’ll save time – sometimes up to 12 months when compared to running the procurement in-house.
You’ll benefit from increased buying power and economies of scale.
You’ll gain access to intelligent specifications and cost models.
You’ll be supported through each stage of the process to ensure you’re compliant.
You have 2 different award options to choose from, a Direct Award to the top-ranked supplier, such as TEAM Safety Services, or carrying out a Mini Tender amongst all approved suppliers.
You’ll benefit from supplier due diligence – all suppliers on the SEC's frameworks are regularly checked for their financial standing.
