Framework positioning matters, but mini-competitions are won on named-team CVs, directly comparable project evidence and fee transparency — buyers score the people, not the brand. Building Safety Act competence requirements (principal designer capability) and net-zero design experience (Passivhaus, retrofit) are now scored in most briefs and are worth leading with.
