Frameworks.
At Littlechild & Haley, we believe success starts with trust, agility, and people. That’s why we’ve worked hard to secure inclusion on key public sector frameworks, making it easier and more cost-effective for organisations to engage with us.
Why Frameworks Matter
Framework agreements are more than a procurement shortcut—they’re a gateway to quality, compliance, and value. By being on these frameworks, we remove complexity and speed up onboarding, so you can access our services without lengthy tender processes. This means:
- Faster engagement: No need for full procurement exercises.
- Assurance of quality: Frameworks vet suppliers for capability and compliance.
- Cost efficiency: Pre-agreed terms reduce administrative overheads.

"Our approach is simple: We help organisations manage risks to success. Framework access means we can do that faster, with less friction, and more focus on what matters - building trust and delivering value."
– Paul Haley, Co-Founder
