    Unless the gov department is sponsoring your company. I know many big companies that cannot get on this, One is a large car leasing company who have been trying to get on for more than a year.

    Let me ask someone and come back to you.
    Been ask for case studies the works to support the tender... feels like big business.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I understand why the framework exists, I just wondered how it was possible for me, 1 one band, to be a contender against all the other big consultancies out there...
