Consultant appointments, usually let off a framework and usually ahead of the works they support — which is why they close early and quietly.

What gets tendered here
Find your own work in the list.
Named the way the trade names itself, and each one carries the single CPV division to set in your search profile — a run filters on one division, so this is the code to use for that work rather than for the sector as a whole.

The shape of the record
What a notice in this sector looks like.
Representative records in the format both portals publish. Contracts Finder rows carry a procurement stage rather than a Procurement Act notice type, because Contracts Finder has no notice-type filter.
