How results are ordered

Framework Finder is a relevance filter, not a recommender. When your search matches a framework, that framework is shown. That is the only judgement the tool makes: relevant, or not.

Every framework shown for a search is a valid, compliant route. Results are shown in no order of preference. Any one of them is a legitimate choice.

We never rank, feature or accept payment for placement

Results are shown in a neutral order — shuffled by default, or sorted by name or expiry date if you choose. No framework provider can pay to appear, to appear higher, or to appear at all. Order never implies preference or quality.

Why this matters

In public procurement, steering a buyer toward one compliant route over another equally compliant route is not neutral. Keeping the tool free of ranking and paid placement is what lets it be trusted by buyers who must be able to justify their choices. This is a permanent commitment, not a temporary policy.
