When selecting a framework provider contracting authorities may consider a number of factors including value for money, compliance, flexibility, supplier choice, social value, how well the framework meets client needs, and the support provided by the framework provider team.

Cirrus frameworks have always been designed with these factors in mind, and as a result have been market-leading in many of these areas since their inception in 2009. Our large-scale national frameworks have the lowest framework fees in the sector, 100% compliance, maximum flexibility by design, a wide range of top quality suppliers, bespoke social value delivery and a suite of ongoing contract support services tailored to suit the unique requirements of each consortium member, because we believe one size does not fit all.

Our contract support services are delivered by our tightly focused, highly efficient procurement consultancy team, these services include:

• Benchmarking
• Invoice checks
• Contract management
• Core Range Analysis
• Tender management

We are an SME business by design to ensure a personal touch for our clients, we consider this a strength as it allows us to be nimble, innovative and customer focussed. Our technical skills and approach to process efficiency enables us to deliver more and justify our nationally recognised reputation.

We don't take on work we can't deliver to a very high standard, so if you want something – just ask!

When you pick up the phone you will get a friendly, familiar and knowledgeable team member who cares enough to find the perfect solutions tailored to your organisation. That's why our client feedback since 2005 has given us 100% client satisfaction rating for the quality of our work, and 100% have said they would use us again or recommend us to others:
