The CBG frameworks are a set of pre-approved agreements with trusted suppliers, covering everything from office supplies and utilities to IT services and specialist solutions.

Instead of each charity running its own tendering process, CBG acts as the contracting authority, carrying out all the necessary due diligence, compliance checks, and tender process. This means that when your charity uses the frameworks, you are buying through a system that is:

• Legally compliant with procurement regulations.

• Pre-vetted to include only reliable, quality suppliers.

• Ready to use, saving you time and resources.

1. Save Time and Reduce Admin

Tendering processes can take months and require specialist expertise. By using the CBG frameworks, your charity can skip the tender process entirely and go straight to trusted suppliers.

2. Cost Savings Through Collective Buying

The frameworks harnesses the buying power of the whole charity sector, meaning your organisation benefits from lower prices negotiated on behalf of all members.

3. Compliance and Peace of Mind

The CBG frameworks are fully compliant, so you don’t have to worry about legal pitfalls.

4. Quality Assurance

Suppliers are carefully selected and regularly reviewed. This ensures your charity gets not just good prices, but also reliable products and services.

5. Tailored for the Charity Sector

Imagine your charity needs new IT equipment. Normally, you would have to research suppliers, write specifications, run a tender, and assess bids. With the CBG Frameworks, you can simply access a list of pre-approved IT suppliers, request quotes, and make a purchase—saving weeks of time and significant administrative costs.
