Thank you for your FOI request received by the FOI office for the following information:

1. As these frameworks list work that can be allocated to a supplier. Does the work (or supply of
   goods) when it is from this framework always get issued as a separate contract on
   contractsfinder?
2. Has it in the case of all of these?
3. I’m aware that for some group awards, the way to find out how much money has been
   allocated as part of a framework agreement is to ask which bodies have puchased from it? In
   which case can I ask which public sector bodies have purchased from each of these framework
   agreements instead please? Presumably if I were to find the trusts which have purchased from
   the framework, I could ask them about their spending with specific companies within it, is this
   correct?
4. I’m aware, for example, that in some framework agreements, companies appear which I know
   are still providing the NHS with equipment, which must be costed in some way, but for which
   no contract outside of the framework agreement exists, if that makes sense. It’s this
   information that I’m ultimately looking for.
