Free, no pitch on the first call
Which frameworks are actually worth your quarter?
Every framework application costs six to eight weeks of real organisational effort, most of it evidence gathering rather than writing. The expensive mistake is not losing one. It is spending a quarter on the wrong one. Tell us what you supply and we will tell you which two or three are worth it, which to decline, and what has to be in place before you can bid at all.
Open right now, as at 22 August 2026
These are live windows, not a marketing list. Each one is tracked in our own data with the source it came from and the date it was verified, and this page reads that data directly rather than restating it by hand.
The full picture is on our tender deadline calendar and the NHS tender pipeline.
What the review gives you
A shortlist, not a list
Which two or three of the currently open and upcoming frameworks are actually worth your effort, based on what you supply and who buys it today. Anyone can send you thirty opportunities. The value is in the twenty-seven you should ignore.
The decline recommendations, in writing
Which frameworks you should not bid, and why. We do not sell tender alerts, so we have no incentive to inflate your pipeline. A disciplined no-bid is usually worth more than an extra submission.
The real timetable, with sources
Deadlines, clarification cut-offs and portal registration lead times for the routes that fit you, each with the source it came from and the date it was checked. Where published sources disagree, we tell you and name which one to trust.
The gating items that decide eligibility
Certifications, financial standing thresholds and portal registrations that determine whether you can bid at all. These have lead times measured in weeks and they are the most common reason a first application never gets submitted.
When this is not the right thing to ask us for
We would rather lose a form fill than waste a call. Three cases where you should do something else:
You want someone to write a bid you have already decided to submit. That is a normal engagement, not a review. Go straight to a call.
You tender across many unrelated sectors at high volume. A larger generalist consultancy will serve you better and we will say so.
You want an opportunity-monitoring subscription. Use Tender Pipeline, which is free. We do not compete with it.
Weighing us against another consultancy? We have written that comparison ourselves, including where the other firm is the better choice. See how Glaxtons compares to other UK bid writing companies.
