CCS Facilities Management RM 6232 framework

Government, public and private sector teams put so much on the line – to create something of value for themselves, their community and the country. Behind every service there is a tender and colloboration. This article is my little part to demystify the largest FM tender for Tier 1, Tier 2, SME and third sector FM Service Providers and enable us to come together and kickstart a concerted effort to maintain and build on this – ‘Together’.

Disclaimer : Baachu CCS webinars and articles are independent training resources managed by Baachu for the FM industry.

Currently in its 3rd iteration, CCS FM Framework has since its inception in 2015 generated sales of nearly £10bn sold – with 20% of this awarded to SMEs! These numbers will only rise during the next iterations, as more and more government bodies buy through the framework. If you have a TFM, Soft FM or Hard FM service and you wish to sell to the government get listed on the CCS FM framework. RM 6232 is THE place to go… We can help you get there and once you are there we can help you win business!

"We knew from the first kick off webinar that we were in safe hands. The Baachu team managed us very effectively! With the right amount of information, advice, prompt and polite push when needed. Whilst we could have put aside the time to learn the process ourselves, complete the framework quality and pricing questionnaires etc having the experienced input and guidance from Baachu Experts made the process so much simpler and straight forward"

"As a result of Baachu’s proposal consulting and training workshop, we were shortlisted for 6 out of 11 opportunities. If we hadn’t had the workshop and framework proposal support, we wouldn’t have been able to win key opportunities"

Why do we love the CCS Framework?

It’s relatively straight forward to get on – although we know many FM suppliers that did fail to get on!
The contract terms are in plain English and are not onerous. Wonderful for an SME!
£35 billion worth of Opportunities are posted only for Framework suppliers! That’s right…. You need to be IN and behind closed doors
Feedback is being acted upon. There is a real sense of participation, not all the suggested improvements to the framework are immediate but they do seem to be being enacted. The focus on user needs is very evident here for us.

You can find lots of helpful tips on listing, marketing and selling.
