The framework consists of 11 lots which offer public sector organisations and landlords a wide variety of options and support, including planning consultants, architect services, employers agent, and principal designer.

Prosper works with businesses in need of one of the services to define their exact requirements and provide bespoke support depending on their needs. This may include devising tender documentation and managing the tender process leaving the businesses to make the award decision.
