Award without competition AWOC

Lot 3 - Agency and Lease Management

This framework uses a ‘Taxi Rank’ system for all AWOC requirements. In public procurement in the UK, a "Taxi Rank" system is a legitimate objective mechanism for awarding individual call-off contracts from a multi-supplier framework without a further competition. The 'Taxi Rank' is a rotational system implemented to ensure all successful suppliers, who have elected to take part, have access to Award Without Competition (AWOC) opportunities over the lifetime of the framework. For each lot, suppliers have been allocated a specific calendar month and during their allocated month, the supplier receives sole consideration for AWOC requirements.

SPG have been allocated the following months for LOT 3

‍ ‍September 2026

Benefit to buyers

Speed and efficiency

Rapid Access to Market: A "taxi-rank" system (or "rotational" framework) allows buyers to award contracts to the next available supplier in a pre-ordered list without running a new competition, making it one of the fastest routes to market.

Reduced Administrative Effort: Because suppliers are already vetted for quality and financial stability, buyers do not need to repeat lengthy tender processes or technical evaluations.

Legal Compliance and Reduced Risk

Compliant by Design: GCA frameworks are designed to comply with public procurement regulations (and the new Procurement Act 2023), reducing the risk of legal challenges.

Pre-negotiated Terms: Standardised terms and conditions are already set, protecting the buyer and creating a "turnkey" solution.

Cost Savings

Reduced Tender Costs: By not running a full procurement process, buyers save on internal resource costs.

Competitive Pricing: The initial competitive tender process used to create the framework ensures that suppliers offer competitive rates for call-offs.

Who can use this framework?

Central Government Departments and their arm's length bodies.

Local Authorities and councils.

NHS Trusts and health services.

Educational Institutions (schools, universities, colleges).

‍ ‍Emergency Services (police, fire, ambulance, coastguard).

Non-profit organisations and charities

‍ ‍Devolved administrations and British overseas territories
