Establish a position in the marketplace

Build long-term relationships
Frameworks provide the opportunity to establish long lasting working relationships with multiple members.

Market recognition
Once you are appointed to a framework, you can use this as evidence or supporting information in future tender bids. -
Unranked procurement
All approved suppliers have fair opportunity to tender for work. -
Dynamic Purchasing System
CHIC doesn’t have just one route to market. Suppliers can apply to join any of our DPSs at any time.

What our stakeholders say...
We quickly gained two valuable new contracts through the framework, which were coordinated flawlessly from start to finish by members of the CHIC team. They have also provided ongoing support in the form of contract reviews and meetings. We have found the whole process of working alongside CHIC a positive one as a supplier and look forward to gaining further clients utilising the framework.

Although I thought the whole procurement process would be daunting, it was the opposite. It was a pleasant experience thanks to Vicki and the whole team working behind the scenes.

CHIC has helped us to think more commercially about how we deliver our services, particularly with planned works. Following our work with CHIC, which is ongoing, we now firmly understand our planned works costs at a granular materials and labour level – CHIC provides the platform for this heightened and essential level of understanding.

The expertise we have received from CHIC has been invaluable in gathering a team of experts that are equipped to carry our scheme through to completion with no upfront tender process. Having a scheme that can be relocated with little fuss means we have flexibility for regeneration.

Their open and collaborative approach helps to maximise efficiency, allowing us to focus on project delivery.
CHIC is our go-to consortium for many different reasons, but primarily because of their no jargon, friendly approach and the willingness to go above and beyond.
