Who is it for?

APUC’S frameworks are primarily aimed at further and higher education providers in Scotland as a way for them to procure and join frameworks. Since APUC started in 2007, they have worked to help make significant savings for their clients.

How does it work?

We have been named on the APUC audit services framework, for lot 2 (Internal audit- colleges and SG bodies), lot 3 (external audit) and lot 4 (tax). The framework agreement, which runs until 10th June 2021, has been developed to help the client and supplier. The variety of lots gives more opportunity for suppliers to provide services they can offer. In return, this ensures that the client receives suitable bids and ultimately good work in the long term.

The benefits

All of the lots on the framework allow desktop awards, mini competitions and ranked.
