The Framework will be established directly by Nexus Multi Academy Trust and will be open for use by all public sector contracting authorities, including but not limited to: * Multi-Academy Trusts and Schools * Further and higher education institutions * Local authorities and associated bodies * Other bodies governed by public law While the framework is primarily designed to meet the needs of the education sector, it will be structured to ensure it is accessible and suitable for use across the wider public sector.
