Tender Opportunity: Technology and Consultancy Services Framework

On behalf of Efficiency East Midlands, Meta Procurement is running a Competitive Flexible Procedure to procure a Technology and Consultancy Services Framework.

About this framework:
EEM is seeking to put in place a fully managed, single supplier national framework for Technology and Consultancy Services. This framework will support public sector transformation, innovation, and digital delivery that provides best possible value and service to our members and the wider public sector.

This framework will enable public bodies to access a trusted, strategic partner capable of delivering diagnostic, advisory, and delivery support across all stages of technology enabled change.  It will include initial assessment through to implementation and post-delivery review.

The framework’s structure, governance, and commercial model are designed to simplify access, improve transparency, and ensure better outcomes for public sector buyers.

A key feature of this framework is the inclusion of a no or at cost diagnostic phase at the outset of any engagement. This ensures buyers fully understand their needs before commissioning further work, without having to commit excessive resources.

Tender process:
The initial phase of the process has opened which is Stage One – Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). Bidders will be required to complete a Selection Questionnaire (PSQ) to demonstrate their organisational suitability, financial standing, relevant experience, and capacity to deliver the required services. Responses will be evaluated in accordance with the published selection criteria. Only the top 3-5 bidders who meet the required standard will be invited to participate in the next stage of the process.

Next stage: Invitation to Tender Stage to commence on 2nd January 2026
