Our membership has now grown to 285 public sector organisations including housing associations and ALMO's, Local Authorities, NHS trusts, Education Providers, Blue Light Services, Government Agencies and Charities.

How this framework works

From the published notice
Bids received
16 bids received · 10 suppliers appointed

Every one of these 3 lots carries the same published figure, £200,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.
