    Brief

    The Government Office for Science (GO-Science) is re-tendering its Futures Procurement Framework to replace the expiring PCR15 Framework. This framework establishes a register of qualified Futures practitioners that enables HMG departments, agencies, and UK public bodies to quickly and cost-effectively procure futures services for strategic planning and capability development. The framework strengthens connections between government and external futures expertise while building a robust network of practitioners within UK government. Suppliers should demonstrate experience in futures thinking, strategic foresight, and policy support services. This opportunity ensures continued access to critical futures advisory services across the public sector.
