FRA086 Digital Services Framework

Waste & Resources Action Programme · Public undertaking

In brief

Waste & Resources Action Programme has announced plans to buy IT and software work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £2,000,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 5 years with extensions, starting 30 March 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 10 bids per contract for this buyer (from 21 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £2,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

WRAP’s Communications Team is exploring the potential establishment of a Digital Framework to support the in-house digital team with specialist expertise and overflow capacity. The framework aims to provide flexible access to retained agencies and a pool of freelancers who can deliver a range of outputs. This may include strategy development, content development, managing paid media, website design and development, custom web application design and development, and hosting.

WRAP’s Communications Team is exploring the potential establishment of a Digital Framework to support the in-house digital team with specialist expertise and overflow capacity. The framework aims to provide flexible access to retained agencies and a pool of freelancers who can deliver a range of outputs. This may include strategy development, content development, managing paid media, website design and development, custom web application design and development, and hosting. Given the breadth of this scope, WRAP seeks a range of suppliers with differing expertise and capable of providing high-quality solutions, sometimes with short turnaround times. This preliminary market engagement exercise is intended to assess supplier capabilities, interest and capacity to support this potential framework. The insights gathered will help shape the scope and structure of any future procurement exercise. It is anticipated that the Framework will commence in Spring 2026, with a proposed initial contract length of 5 years, and an estimated total Framework value of £2m over that period.
