How to use this page
This page is designed to help UK contractors plan framework activity before supplier submission windows open. Statuses refer to the opportunity to join the supplier framework, not whether an awarded framework is live for public-sector buyers to use.
Use Open to suppliers and Closing soon for verified bid windows, Planned procurement for future notices, and Appointed suppliers to research supply-chain routes. Check current status means the supplier window has not been confirmed. An agreement can be active for buyers while closed to new suppliers.
Read the practical guide to using the Framework Calendar to turn upcoming dates into a 90-day preparation and outreach plan.
If your target is a major main contractor rather than a place on the framework itself, use the UK Tier 1 supply-chain guide and our guide to getting onto an approved contractor list.
Become familiar before the framework opportunity
Market Maestro helps construction businesses identify relevant buyers, improve director profiles, publish credible project content and build relationships through targeted LinkedIn outreach. That familiarity can support business development before a procurement window opens, but it does not replace the framework's formal eligibility, evidence or submission requirements.
Bayliss Decorators generated £302,000 in tender value through LinkedIn outreach, with £57,000 closed as work won. Tender value is not revenue. Read the full Bayliss case study.

Framework calendar FAQs
How often should construction framework deadlines be checked?
At minimum, check monthly. In high activity periods, check weekly for frameworks marked closing soon or upcoming. Dates and procurement notices can move with little notice.
Does this replace checking the official procurement portal?
No. This is a planning tool. Always verify final dates and eligibility criteria on the official framework authority page before making bid decisions.
What should contractors do before a framework opens?
Prepare evidence early: relevant case studies, certifications, social value proof, and role-specific bid content. Early preparation usually improves submission quality and reduces last-minute errors.
