One of our specialities is representing smaller organisations on large frameworks. Our client contacted us in March 2010 to discuss the probability of succeeding on the Scape empa Framework to deliver planned and responsive repairs services to a range of government organisations in the East Midlands.

Initially we were concerned with regard to the size of the organisation and the value of work that would be available to successful companies under the Framework. One option that was available was the formation of a consortium with other local organisations and limiting the geographical spread of the application. We provided Consultancy Services which covered a broad range of activities which included:-

• Advice on setting up the Consortia and the range of management tasks it would be responsible for.
• Developing a governance model that would satisfy the requirement of the EMPA/SCAPE Framework.
• Drafting the pre-qualification document.
• Drafting the tender document.
• Providing two sets of presentation material and briefing the presentation team on answering the points raised during the meeting.
• Completing the final solution document and advising on the financial submission.
• Producing the employment & skills development plan.
• Creating the Consortia brand, designing every submission document, printing them and delivering them to time.

The project spanned the period between March 2010 and December 2010 and resulted in the award of the Framework with a potential for up to £20 million of construction work on an annual basis. Our client achieved third place on the financial aspect of the tender and received the top quality mark.

Additionally, during the period we advised on a second contract for Leicester City Council which our client secured with a value of £1.5 million per annum.

"We have always had and continue to have an exceptionally good relationship with Propeller. They have assisted us in replying to many PQQ and tender opportunities to the extent of us 100% outsourcing replies to projects that we would have had little chance of pre-qualifying for or winning. Our success in these processes has increased exponentially."
