We work hard to make sure Buttress can be appointed through a wide range of national and regional frameworks. These frameworks give local authorities and grant-funded projects a clear, compliant route to access our expertise and specialist advice, quickly and with confidence.
These frameworks make procurement straightforward and cost-effective. And if a framework isn’t your preferred route, we’re flexible: you can engage us directly or through neutral vendors, whatever works best for your project.
