It is a framework worth up to £25,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 September 2027.
The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?
Competition
Usually high: a median of 8 bids per contract for this buyer (from 79 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 £25,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
