Framework Efficiency Review

Identifying savings potential

Scotland Excel is delighted to offer a framework efficiency review to all of our local authority members as a core service included within their membership fees.  This service helps councils to make the best possible use of our extensive contract portfolio.

We work closely with council procurement colleagues to review their organisation’s use of Scotland Excel frameworks and identify potential savings opportunities. 

Councils can often make savings in a number of ways.  It may be that a Scotland Excel framework is not currently being used and can offer better value, or that it is only one of several contract arrangements in place and therefore spending power is being diluted.

Where a council is already using a Scotland Excel framework, further opportunities for savings can be made by reviewing the range of products purchased, switching suppliers or running a further competition to achieve better pricing through a commitment contract.

We understand that each council may have different priorities when defining best value.  When undertaking a framework efficiency review, we work closely with council procurement teams and take these into account when recommending a course of action.

Once the review is completed, we can provide cost-effective follow on support to help councils implement the efficiencies that have been identified.  A framework review can also form part of a further competition service, hosted procurement service or transformation programme
