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.
For best results, review Upcoming procurements first, then Closing Soon for urgent submissions and Open to suppliers for active bid windows. A framework marked Supplier window closed may still be live for buyers, but new suppliers cannot normally join until it is reprocured.
Read the practical guide to using the Framework Calendar to turn upcoming dates into a 90-day preparation and outreach plan.

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.
