This reform is still a work in progress. All of the frameworks are not yet in place. As of now, not everything comes under a framework but the intention is to move towards that being the case for everything and everyone. The recent public service spend and tendering analysis report 2014 gives an understanding of the frameworks that have been put in place and what savings it is hoped to achieve in that regard. That information is available. The report will give information but a site visit involving a run through of operations with senior staff is a good idea. Taking a look at live competitions that are under way, in terms of the use of tenders to improve everything, is also a good idea. If a site visit can be arranged, I would recommend it.
