How to win Digital & IT Tenders

The procurement of IT services is varied in requirements, and as such there are numerous elements of what win contracts in this sector.

For Network Connectivity, for example, buyers look for expertise and be that either public or enterprise level. For public sector especially, having a solid customer base to demonstrate capabilities is key.

Buyers who require services such as Cloud, SaaS, PaaS are also reliant on ensuring capabilities and experience, however for these services, price is also a factor.

A common barrier is ensuring the technical ability and expertise is portrayed within the response and that all technical elements are answered in a succinct manner to the requirement. It's important to consider the audience, and their level of technical language. From our experience in winning tenders within the IT sector, quality, along with demonstration of technical expertise and the ability to provide a technical overview in an easy to read manner are key themes for success.

What Do Digital & IT Tenders Cover?

Typical services that are included within Digital & IT tenders are;

Network Services

The UK public sector relies on robust, secure, and innovative telecommunications services to support its daily operations and deliver essential services to citizens. To meet these needs, the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has developed a series of Network Services frameworks, providing a comprehensive route to market for suppliers offering a wide range of telecommunications services. These multi-lot agreements cover data connectivity, voice services, contact centre services, unified communications, managed equipment services, and mobile voice and data services, all designed to support the evolving needs of the public sector with a focus on innovation, flexibility, and value for money. CCS Network Services frameworks are open to a diverse range of public sector organisations, including central government departments, local authorities, NHS bodies, emergency services, educational institutions, and charities. These buyers seek reliable, cost-effective, and future-proof solutions to support their digital transformation initiatives and improve service delivery. To be eligible for CCS Network Services frameworks, suppliers must demonstrate technical competence, financial stability, compliance with relevant standards and security requirements, a commitment to social value and environmental sustainability, and the ability to offer value for money with transparent pricing structures. Bidding for CCS Network Services frameworks can be complex and competitive, requiring a thorough understanding of the framework's requirements and the public sector's telecommunications needs. To maximise success, suppliers should carefully review documentation, highlight unique selling points and innovative solutions, provide clear and compelling responses, demonstrate a track record of delivering similar services, offer competitive pricing, and seek professional bid writing support to ensure a high-quality proposal. By understanding the key requirements and opportunities of CCS Network Services frameworks and submitting a strong, compliant bid, UK telecommunications suppliers can secure valuable contracts and establish long-term partnerships with public sector organisations.

Data Centre Hosting

In addition to telecommunications services, the UK public sector also requires secure, reliable, and efficient data centre hosting solutions to support its digital infrastructure and data management needs. To address this demand, the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has established various frameworks that include data centre hosting services, providing opportunities for suppliers to offer their expertise and solutions to a wide range of public sector organisations. Data centre hosting suppliers on these frameworks can provide a variety of services, such as colocation, managed hosting, cloud hosting, and hybrid solutions, catering to the diverse requirements of public sector buyers. These services are designed to ensure the security, availability, and performance of critical data and applications, enabling public sector organisations to focus on their core functions and service delivery. Suppliers interested in bidding for data centre hosting opportunities within CCS frameworks must demonstrate their technical capabilities, security measures, compliance with relevant standards and regulations, and ability to deliver cost-effective, scalable, and innovative solutions. They should also showcase their experience in working with public sector clients, their understanding of the unique challenges and requirements of this sector, and their commitment to providing exceptional service and support. When preparing bids for data centre hosting services, suppliers should focus on highlighting their key differentiators, such as advanced security features, energy efficiency, disaster recovery capabilities, and value-added services. They should also provide clear and transparent pricing models, demonstrating how their solutions can help public sector organisations optimise costs while meeting their data centre hosting needs. Winning data centre hosting contracts through CCS frameworks can provide suppliers with significant opportunities to establish long-term relationships with public sector clients, expand their market presence, and contribute to the digital transformation of the UK public sector. By delivering high-quality, reliable, and innovative data centre hosting services, suppliers can play a crucial role in supporting the public sector's mission to serve citizens effectively and efficiently.

Cloud Services

Cloud services have become increasingly crucial for UK public sector organisations, enabling them to modernise their IT infrastructure, improve agility, and deliver services more efficiently. Recognising this growing demand, the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has developed a range of frameworks that specifically cater to the procurement of cloud services, such as the G-Cloud framework series. These frameworks provide a streamlined and compliant route for public sector organisations to access a wide variety of cloud services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and specialist cloud services. By using these frameworks, public sector buyers can easily compare and procure the most suitable cloud solutions for their needs, while ensuring value for money and compliance with relevant regulations. For suppliers, offering cloud services through CCS frameworks presents a significant opportunity to engage with a large and diverse customer base across the UK public sector. To be successful in this competitive marketplace, suppliers must demonstrate their expertise in delivering secure, scalable, and innovative cloud solutions that align with the specific requirements of public sector organisations. When bidding for cloud service opportunities, suppliers should focus on showcasing their technical capabilities, security measures, data protection practices, and adherence to relevant standards and certifications. They should also highlight their experience in delivering successful cloud projects within the public sector, demonstrating their understanding of the unique challenges and constraints faced by these organisations. In addition to technical expertise, suppliers should emphasise their ability to provide exceptional customer support, training, and ongoing maintenance to ensure the smooth adoption and operation of their cloud services. They should also offer transparent and flexible pricing models that align with the public sector's budgetary constraints and value for money requirements. As the UK public sector continues to embrace cloud technologies, suppliers who can deliver innovative, reliable, and cost-effective cloud services through CCS frameworks will be well-positioned to build long-lasting partnerships with public sector organisations. By supporting the public sector's digital transformation journey, these suppliers can contribute to the delivery of better services to citizens while driving growth and success for their own businesses.

Network Connectivity

Network connectivity is a fundamental aspect of the UK public sector's IT infrastructure, enabling organisations to communicate, collaborate, and deliver services effectively. The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) recognises the critical importance of reliable and secure network connectivity and has established various frameworks to help public sector organisations procure these services from a wide range of suppliers. These frameworks cover a broad spectrum of network connectivity services, including wide area networks (WAN), local area networks (LAN), mobile connectivity, and internet access. By using these frameworks, public sector buyers can easily access a diverse pool of suppliers, compare offerings, and select the most suitable network connectivity solutions for their specific needs, while ensuring compliance with procurement regulations and achieving value for money. For suppliers, offering network connectivity services through CCS frameworks presents a significant opportunity to engage with a large and diverse customer base across the UK public sector. To be successful in this competitive marketplace, suppliers must demonstrate their expertise in delivering reliable, secure, and high-performance network connectivity solutions that meet the specific requirements of public sector organisations. When bidding for network connectivity opportunities, suppliers should focus on showcasing their technical capabilities, service level agreements (SLAs), security measures, and adherence to relevant standards and certifications. They should also highlight their experience in delivering successful network connectivity projects within the public sector, demonstrating their understanding of the unique challenges and constraints faced by these organisations. In addition to technical expertise, suppliers should emphasise their ability to provide exceptional customer support, network monitoring, and troubleshooting services to ensure the smooth operation and maintenance of their network connectivity solutions. They should also offer transparent and flexible pricing models that align with the public sector's budgetary constraints and value for money requirements.

By supporting the public sector's connectivity needs, these suppliers can contribute to the delivery of better services to citizens while driving growth and success for their own businesses.

Network Infrastructure and Support

Network infrastructure and support are essential components of the UK public sector's IT ecosystem, ensuring that organisations can maintain secure, reliable, and efficient networks to support their operations and service delivery. The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) understands the critical role of network infrastructure and support and has developed various frameworks to help public sector organisations procure these services from a wide range of qualified suppliers. These frameworks cover a comprehensive range of network infrastructure and support services, including network design, implementation, maintenance, security, and troubleshooting. By leveraging these frameworks, public sector buyers can access a diverse pool of suppliers, compare offerings, and select the most suitable network infrastructure and support solutions for their specific needs, while ensuring compliance with procurement regulations and achieving value for money. For suppliers, offering network infrastructure and support services through CCS frameworks presents a significant opportunity to engage with a large and diverse customer base across the UK public sector. To be successful in this competitive marketplace, suppliers must demonstrate their expertise in delivering robust, secure, and high-performance network infrastructure solutions, as well as their ability to provide comprehensive support services to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of these solutions. When bidding for network infrastructure and support opportunities, suppliers should focus on showcasing their technical capabilities, industry certifications, security measures, and adherence to best practices and standards. They should also highlight their experience in delivering successful network infrastructure projects within the public sector, demonstrating their understanding of the unique challenges and constraints faced by these organisations. In addition to technical expertise, suppliers should emphasise their ability to provide proactive monitoring, maintenance, and support services to minimise network downtime and ensure optimal performance. They should also offer flexible and scalable solutions that can adapt to the evolving needs of public sector organisations, as well as transparent and competitive pricing models that align with the public sector's budgetary constraints and value for money requirements. As the UK public sector continues to rely on robust and secure network infrastructure to support its digital transformation initiatives, suppliers who can deliver comprehensive network infrastructure and support services through CCS frameworks will be well-positioned to build long-lasting partnerships with public sector organisations. By supporting the public sector's network infrastructure needs, these suppliers can contribute to the delivery of better services to citizens while driving growth and success for their own businesses.

Network Equipment

Network equipment is a vital component of the UK public sector's IT infrastructure, enabling organisations to build and maintain networks that support communication, collaboration, and service delivery. The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has established frameworks to help public sector organisations procure network equipment from a wide range of suppliers, covering products such as routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, and wireless access points. These frameworks provide public sector buyers with access to a diverse pool of suppliers, allowing them to compare offerings, select suitable equipment, and ensure compliance with procurement regulations while achieving value for money. For suppliers, offering network equipment through CCS frameworks presents an opportunity to engage with a large customer base across the UK public sector. When it comes to WiFi upgrade and refresh projects, including those related to the UK's gigabit framework, there are several key public sector frameworks that suppliers should be aware of. In addition to the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), other notable frameworks include the Scottish Government's Digital and Technology Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), the NHS Shared Business Services (SBS) IT Hardware and Services framework, and the Education Technology framework from Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC). To be successful, suppliers must demonstrate their ability to provide high-quality, reliable, and secure network equipment that meets the specific requirements of public sector organisations. When bidding, suppliers should showcase the technical specifications, performance capabilities, and security features of their products, as well as their partnerships with leading manufacturers, warranty and support services, and experience in delivering successful network equipment projects within the public sector.

Agricultural household survey 2025
UK Edinburgh Scottish Government

Background & Context3. Scotland, along with the rest of the UK, withdrew from the EU in January 2021 following the agreement of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. This post-Brexit era means that the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will cease to apply and that Scotland, along with the rest of the UK, is now designing a new support scheme in replacement.4. Work is currently underway defining a framework for monitoring and evaluating the Agricultural Reform Programme’s (ARP) five strategic policy outcomes and the series of sub-outcomes within them. There are currently several areas where there is either incomplete or unavailable data for effective monitoring purposes, specifically related to skills, knowledge transfer and wellbeing amongst the farming and crofting population. This household survey will play a critical role in bridging these data gaps.5. One of the four Scottish Government’s Programme for Government 2024-2025 priorities is to eradicate child poverty. In 2022 the Scottish Government commissioned research to improve our understanding of child poverty in rural and island Scotland. Furthermore, a programme of work is currently being undertaken by Dr Sharon Stevelink, UKRI/ESRC Policy Fellow on the trends and patterns of child poverty (specifically relative and absolute poverty, limited resources) as well as various proxies for poverty for rural and island Scotland. However, there is no previous or current research conducted on the prevalence of child poverty broken down by agricultural households. The lack of data available is a barrier to understanding the impact agricultural schemes have on child poverty outcomes in farming and crofting households. In addition, research questions also focus on crucial areas such as knowledge exchange, learning and development, digital access and job satisfaction. Gathering data on these factors will provide a more comprehensive picture of the challenges and opportunities within farming and crofting communities and help inform strategies that enhance and support the priorities of the ARP moving forward.6. We have recently conducted a data mapping exercise on the data held on farmers’ and crofters’ protected characteristics, socio-economic status, wellbeing and skills needs to assist with the development of indicators to measure progress of the ARP outcomes framework and the 4 main priorities of the Scottish Government. This exercise showed that there is a significant lack of agricultural household data. Most household data is not broken down by sector. Where protected characteristics data, such as sex and age, does exist it is often taken from the June Agricultural Census, which only collects data on the two main occupiers of a holding. Furthermore, some existing socio-economic data collected from the Farm Business Survey, such as on- and off-farm income, only covers a sample of around 400 agricultural holdings and does not include those that have a turnover of less than 20,000 GBP. The shortage of regularly collected data in these areas will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to adequately and meaningfully measure progress against the aims of the ARP, given that there is not a baseline of data from which to measure change against.7. We, thus, wish to commission a survey of around 3,000 farming and crofting households (approximately 5% of the population of Scotland’s agricultural businesses and crofts) or an appropriate figure given the scope of this specification. The survey will explore demographics, household composition, economic activity, wellbeing and skills needs and thus, giving us a sense of the impact and effectiveness of the ARP on the diversity, wellbeing and just transition of Scotland’s farmers and crofters.

Cairngorms 2030 community-led climate fund: Participatory Democracy
UK Grantown-on-spey Cairngorms National Park Authority

As part of our five-year Cairngorms 2030 programme, the Park Authority is looking to co-design a 1GBP million community-led climate fund with communities of interest and place connected to the Cairngorms National Park. We are looking for a consultant to work side-by-side with the Park Authority, partners and community representatives to guide us through the process, with a specific focus on:- Exploring a range of participatory democracy methods and selecting the method(s) that most align(s) with the needs of our target audiences, both within the Cairngorms National Park and further afield.- Taking an innovative approach to community engagement and co-design, recognising the very specific context of the Cairngorms National Park, e.g. in terms of remote, rural geography but national / international impact (6% of Scotland’s land mass, over two million visitors a year etc).- Ensuring the community-led climate fund meets our commitment to widening participation, engaging as representative a cross-section of communities with a stake in the Cairngorms National Park. This relates both to the co-design of the grant scheme, as well as the beneficiaries of the grant programme.- Optimising the time and expertise of everyone involved, particularly those from communities of interest and place. This includes a detailed exploration of all stages of the grant-making process to determine the appropriate level of community engagement at each step of the process.- Building upon over two decades of innovative public engagement and experience of supporting community led grant programmes since the National Park was designated in 2003 (see section 1.7 above).- Delivering value for money for the programme, the National Lottery Heritage Fund and – most importantly – the communities involved in the development and delivery of the fund.- Considering the potential uses and impacts of participatory democracy methods on other areas of the Cairngorms 2030 programme.- Linked to the above, considering the interaction between this process and other parallel funding streams within the Cairngorms National Park, particularly those operated by the Cairngorms Trust. Any solution should seek to reduce complexity for communities / stakeholders seeking funding from one of these sources. It should also recognise and build on current grant programmes.- The proposed solution, and the timetable for developing and implementing that solution, will need to find the right balance between aspiration and pragmatism, ensuring the GBP 1 million fund is delivered in full by the end of 2028 whilst also delivering maximum impact.

Wild Strathfillan Project – Rainforest bryophytes survey and assessment
UK Balloch Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Countryside Trust

The Countryside Trust has been awarded funding through NatureScot’s Nature Restoration Fund for ‘Lochside to Mountain-top', the first delivery phase of Wild Strathfillan. Wild Strathfillan is an ambitious landscape-scale nature restoration initiative which covers approximately 50,000 Ha of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. The Trust is working in partnership with land managers, local communities, environmental NGOs, government agencies, businesses and the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority to deliver this work. You can read more about the project here.The western area of Wild Strathfillan falls within the easternmost reaches of the Scottish Rainforest Zone, renowned for its diverse bryophyte flora. Although detailed information on the specific bryophyte species within the Wild Strathfillan area is currently limited, it is acknowledged that in certain areas these plants are under pressure from herbivores. Populations of rare bryophytes in Britain require meticulous monitoring, as many species are at risk due to habitat changes or accidental destruction. The latest census by the British Bryological Society identifies 1,098 bryophyte species on the red list in Scotland. This gives Scotland a significant international responsibility to conserve these species. Additionally, bryophytes are ecologically important and sensitive to environmental changes, making them excellent indicators of the landscape's ecological health.Gathering comprehensive data on the bryophyte populations within the project area is crucial for minimising future losses and ensuring effective conservation strategies are planned and implemented. This tender, aims to progress these objectives by systematically documenting the presence and distribution of bryophytes, assessing the pressures they face, and recommending targeted conservation actions to protect these valuable species.We are therefore seeking to appoint a contractor with specialist bryophyte knowledge to plan and undertake targeted surveys to help gather baseline data. This contract will focus primarily on bryophyte species associated with temperate rainforest habitat, although montane bryophytes will be considered as part of the desk study.

The Authority also continues to provide vital timber supplies to support a sustainable rural economy. Further information on who the Authority is and what it does can be found here: https://forestryandland.gov.scot/.The Authority has a requirement to place a Framework Agreement with external Contractors for the provision of Seed Collection and Associated Services (including, Processing and Testing and Seed Supply).The Authority plants an estimated 25 million trees per annum across the National Forest Estate. Presently 28% of these trees are grown at the Authority’s owned Newton Nursery with the remaining 72% currently contract grown or purchased within the private nursery sector.The Authority also purchases a proportion of seed externally to support the production of stock from its Newton Nursery operation. However, the Authority also sells a proportion of the seed it collects and that is surplus to requirements in support of the wider UK forestry sector. Purchased seed typically includes; Scots pine, Norway spruce, Douglas fir and Alaskan Lodgepole pine, with seed sold to the sector being mainly improved Sitka spruce. Seed availability and plant demand however is subject to change due to the impact of multiple unpredictable variables; e.g., unpredictable mast years or changes in felling/restocking sites, disease etc. Purchased and sold seed may also require chemical treatment to ensure protection from pests, or indeed for seed primed or coated using new innovation technologies which can help to increase germination rates.Within this Framework Agreement specification, the Authority has a requirement for the provision of the following services:- Aerial Seed Collection;- Ground Seed Collection;- Rope Access Seed Collection;- Seed Processing, Testing and Storage; and- Seed Supply.

You would think that with a bird as iconic as the puffin, we would know how many of them we have in the UK and how successful a breeding colony is in any year. Yet, of all the seabirds we are internationally responsible for, the puffin is one of the hardest to count because they breed in burrows underground. Traditional methods are either extremely labour intensive, with specialised fieldworkers required for counts, or can only give us an indication of how many puffins there are on land or on sea. It is also hard to tell how successfully they are managing to breed.

Wild Strathfillan – Hydrological survey, Colin Burt Reserve
UK Balloch Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Countryside Trust

The Countryside Trust has been awarded funding through NatureScot’s Nature Recovery Fund to deliver the initial delivery phase of Wild Strathfillan. The Trust is working in partnership with land managers, local communities, environmental NGOs, businesses and the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority to deliver this long-term project.Wetland habitat restoration at the Colin Burt Reserve has been identified as one of several key nature restoration initiatives that will be delivered across the Strathfillan landscape over the next two years. The reserve is 16.5 hectares in area, with wetland habitat covering 9.5 hectares. Attempts to drain the wetland habitat for cattle and sheep grazing have been made in the past, but unsuccessfully. After the purchase in 2005, it has been unmanaged and is now dominated by Deschampsia cespitosa (Tufted hairgrass).The site is situated on the floodplain of the River Dochart, and in addition to wetland habitat, the site includes a conifer plantation, grassland habitat, and areas of recent native woodland planting. The site floods extensively every winter, completely submerging the wetland habitat, right up to the conifer plantation. With sensitive management, we aim to reduce the grass cover, and increase botanical species diversity. We would like to do this by introducing some wetland features to increase habitat heterogeneity. This includes creating scrapes and ponds, as well as maintaining and increasing the existing botanically rich ditches that currently support Beaver on the site.

Wild Strathfillan – Rhododendron Removal at Bull Park Wood, Auchlyne Estate
UK Balloch Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Countryside Trust

LLTCT has been awarded funding through NatureScot’s Nature Recovery Fund to deliver the initial delivery phase of Wild Strathfillan. LLTCT is working in partnership with land managers, local communities, environmental NGOs, businesses and the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority to deliver this long-term project.Removal of invasive non-native Rhododendron ponticum forms part of the suite of nature restoration initiatives that will be delivered across the landscape. Rhododendron ponticum has been identified at Bull Park Wood in the Auchlyne Estate. This woodland is just over 6ha in area, and the Rhododendron covers less than 10% of this area, mainly as scattered shrubs, circa 1 meter to 1.5 metres tall.Site Location:Auchlyne Estate is situated within Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. It lies to the north of park, off the A85 between Crianlarich and Killin. The woodland is located due east of Auchlyne farm buildings, and north of the River Dochart. The location of the woodland compartment is shown on the map below (blue-outlined polygon). There are two gates enabling vehicular access to the woodland compartment across a sheep field. A vehicular access track runs through some of the site, though most Rhododendron flanks the burn and is growing amongst fairly dense circa 20-year-old native broadleaf tree growth. If a site visit is required, please get in touch and we will provide you with the location for access.Services Required;We require Rhododendron ponticum to be removed from the woodland using small, preferably tracked, machinery, or by hand using a chainsaw. All Rhododendron ponticum growth roughly 1 metre high by 0.5 metres wide and larger will be removed by the contractor as part of this contract. Smaller plants will be removed by hand at a later date although the contractor should record a GPS or what-three-words location for shrubs identified that were not removed during these works. All Rhododendron that has been removed by the contractor needs to be left in tidy piles on site away from watercourses. After works are completed, we expect the site to be left tidy and any impacts from accessing the site to be made good, including access route to and from the site through the sheep field. The woodland consists of native trees, and so felling and removal of any trees for access should be avoided as far as possible.A site visit will be required prior to submitting a bid for this work to ensure accurate costings are submitted and equipment requirements are identified. Access requirements should be considered, including minimising impact on surrounding environment (e.g. avoiding the felling of native trees).

Cloud, Digital and Technology Frameworks
Technology Frameworks - Frequently Asked Questions
Where to Find Digital & IT tenders?

As a leading bid management consultancy, Thornton & Lowe offers expert guidance and writing services for UK public sector suppliers looking to secure contracts through various frameworks.

G-Cloud Frameworks

The G-Cloud framework series has been a game-changer for cloud-based computing services procurement in the UK public sector. The framework focuses on improving the end-to-end buying journey, increasing competition, and incorporating the latest policies on social value and prompt payments.

G-Cloud 14 is in place with 15 being planned! Suppliers should stay informed about the specific changes and requirements for each iteration to ensure a successful bid.

Another exciting development in the cloud procurement space is the introduction of the Alpha G-Cloud framework. This £3 billion framework, developed by YPO in collaboration with NEPO, aims to address compliance challenges while maintaining access to dynamic technology offerings. Alpha G-Cloud will likely follow a similar structure to the current G-Cloud framework, offering a wide range of cloud services through an online marketplace.

To maximise your chances of success when bidding for G-Cloud frameworks, it's crucial to understand the benefits and duration of each iteration, as well as the social value requirements. Thornton & Lowe's team of bid specialists can provide tailored support to enhance the quality of your G-Cloud bid and increase your likelihood of success.

Other Key IT Frameworks

In addition to the G-Cloud series, there are several other essential IT frameworks for UK public sector suppliers to consider:

  1. Digital Projects and Programmes (RM6365): This framework covers a wide range of digital transformation projects, from strategy and design to implementation and support.
  2. Technology Services 4 (RM6190): TS4 is designed to provide a route to market for a wide range of technology services, including digital transformation, data analytics, and cybersecurity.
  3. Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7 (DOS 7): DOS 7 focuses on providing digital outcomes, specialist roles, and user research studios to the public sector.
  4. Network Services 3: This framework covers a broad spectrum of network and telecommunications services, from data connectivity to voice services and contact centres.

To successfully bid for these frameworks, suppliers must demonstrate their technical competence, value for money, and ability to deliver innovative solutions. Thornton & Lowe's bid writing experts can help you craft compelling and compliant bids that showcase your company's strengths and align with the specific requirements of each framework.
