Accessing the YORconsult3 framework is easy. Any public sector organisation in the framework region can enjoy the many benefits that it offers, following these six steps:

  1. Contact a YORconsult3 framework manager to discuss your requirements.
  2. Agree the service that you require with the YORconsult3 framework manager.
  3. Execute the Access and Confidentiality Agreement that grants use of the framework.
  4. Carry out the call-off process to select a YORconsult3 consultant.
  5. Complete and return the Expression of Interest (EOI) proforma, in order for the Framework Team to confirm interest from the framework consultants in your scheme.
  6. Monitor consultant performance.

The YORconsult3 team will work closely with you to deliver strategic initiatives and measure key performance indicators, with debriefs for some larger projects.
