Frameworks
The smarter route to trusted delivery.
Framework agreements remove procurement friction and create the conditions for genuine partnership. Octavius is appointed on major national and regional frameworks, making it easier for customers to access our capability quickly and confidently.
Procurement can be a barrier. A complex, time-consuming tender process delays the start of works, increases the cost of bringing in capability and prevents the early contractor involvement that adds the most value.
Frameworks exist to solve this, providing a pre-agreed route to appointment that has already satisfied the legal and quality thresholds, while preserving flexibility for individual commissions.
Octavius holds appointments on major national frameworks for highways, rail and transport infrastructure. For customers on these frameworks, we are already a qualified, approved partner. We are ready to mobilise when the project is ready.
What framework delivery means in practice
It means we can move quickly. Early discussions are about the project, not the procurement. It means trust is already established through a competitive selection process. It means commercial terms are pre-agreed, reducing the cost and delay of negotiation. And it means that the relationship can develop over the life of the framework, building the kind of mutual understanding that produces better outcomes.
Our framework appointments
We are appointed on highways, structures, rail and transport infrastructure frameworks for national bodies and regional customers. If you are a customer with an existing framework appointment — or if you are looking to understand how frameworks might work for your programme — we would like to talk.

Not on a framework? We can still work together.
Direct procurement, two-stage tender and early contractor involvement commissions are all routes we work through. Tell us about your project and we will advise on the most effective route to appointment.
