Everything you need to get the most from the tool.
The Procurement Intelligence tool helps training providers identify relevant procurement frameworks, assess eligibility, and surface routes to market across UK and international public sector procurement.
It combines a curated framework library with an AI intelligence layer that reasons across stored frameworks and searches for routes beyond the library. The AI surfaces relevant information and recommends next actions. You retain full decision authority at all times.
Describe your sector and offer — the AI does the rest.
The Intelligence Query tab is the primary mode of the tool. You describe what you want to supply and to whom, and the AI analyses the framework landscape, identifies relevant procurement routes, surfaces any gaps, and closes with specific next actions.
The query runs on three inputs. All three should be completed before running an analysis.
Once you've completed the inputs, click Run Intelligence Query. The loading messages will update as the analysis progresses through matching, gap assessment, and — where required — web search for additional frameworks.
UK only, international, or both — the choice shapes the whole analysis.
The geographic scope selector determines which procurement regimes the AI searches within. UK and international frameworks operate under different rules, so the scope setting shapes not just where the AI looks, but how it assesses eligibility and compliance.
Four structured sections — each with a distinct purpose.
The AI output is structured in up to four sections. Not all sections will appear in every query — sections are only included where there is content to surface. The output always closes with Next Actions.
Browse, filter, search, and inspect the stored framework records.
The Framework Library tab shows all frameworks currently stored in the library. Each framework is displayed as a card showing its name, reference, procuring body, status, sectors, and contract value. Click any card to open the full detail modal.
Three tools are available above the framework grid:
Search — type any part of a framework name, reference number, or procuring body to filter the grid in real time. Useful when you know which framework you're looking for.
Sector filter — select a sector from the dropdown to show only frameworks covering that sector. The dropdown is populated from the sectors stored against each framework record.
Status filter — filter by Open, Closing Soon, Pipeline, or Closed. Use this to focus on currently accessible routes or to monitor what's coming.
Clicking a framework card opens the full detail modal. This shows the complete framework record: name, reference, procuring body, type, contract value, start and end dates, call-off method, SME eligibility, lots and their descriptions, full eligibility criteria, key benefits, and direct links to apply or find out more.
Close the modal by clicking the X button, clicking outside the modal, or pressing Escape.
Add new frameworks permanently to the library.
Click + Add Framework in the Framework Library tab to open the add form. Complete the required fields and as many of the optional fields as you can — the more complete the record, the more useful it is to the AI when running queries.
Once saved, the framework appears immediately in the library grid and is included in all future AI queries.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Framework Name Required | The official name of the framework as published by the procuring body. |
| Reference / ID Required | The framework reference number (e.g. RM6219, Y25003). This becomes the framework's unique identifier in the library — it must be unique. |
| Procuring Body Required | The organisation managing the framework (e.g. Crown Commercial Service, Kent County Council). |
| Description Required | A clear summary of what the framework covers, who manages it, and its key characteristics. This is the primary field the AI uses to assess relevance. |
| Type | Framework, Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), or Open Framework. DPS routes allow suppliers to join at any time during the framework's life. |
| Status | Open, Closing Soon, Pipeline, or Closed. Keep this current — the AI excludes closed frameworks from its output by default. |
| Contract Value | The display value for the framework (e.g. £300M, Up to £1Bn). Used for reference — does not need to be a precise figure. |
| Start / End Dates | In YYYY-MM-DD format. The end date is used by the AI to assess whether a framework is still viable. |
| Sectors | Comma-separated list of eligible sectors (e.g. NHS, Local Government, Education, Blue Light). These populate the sector filter in the library. |
| Eligibility | Comma-separated list of eligible buyer types (e.g. All UK public sector bodies, NHS trusts, Local authorities). |
| Training Types | Comma-separated list of training categories covered (e.g. Leadership & Management, CPD, Apprenticeships). Used by the AI to assess offer alignment. |
| Apply URL / Info URL | Direct links to the framework's application page and information page. These appear as buttons in the detail modal. |
| Notes | Any caveats, time-sensitive information, pipeline details, or contact information worth capturing. |
Direct access to the key external procurement destinations.
The quick links panel in the Intelligence Query tab provides direct access to the primary external destinations for UK public sector procurement intelligence. Use these alongside the AI output to verify frameworks and search for live opportunities.
The AI informs. The user decides.
The AI identifies and surfaces relevant frameworks, assesses eligibility, and recommends next actions. It does not approve or reject procurement routes. All commercial and strategic decisions remain with the user.
Web-sourced framework data should always be independently verified before it informs a bid submission or supplier application decision. The AI applies a confidence rating to web-sourced records, but a High confidence rating is not a guarantee of accuracy or currency.
Framework status and eligibility criteria change. Where any record in the library shows a status of Closing Soon or where an end date is approaching, verify the current position directly with the procuring body before committing resource to an application.
