Framework contract publishing requirements are currently limited to central government organisations.

Conclusion
We asked the GCF whether there was a requirement for departments to publish all contracts awarded off a framework. The GCF described that there are such requirements but that full contract publishing currently only applies to central government. The GCF commented that contracts from NHS trusts, for instance, do not today fall under contract publishing requirements, but will in the future.46
