Standing offers (SO) and supply arrangements (SA) are public procurement vehicles. Vendors holding them should make their SO/SA portfolio legible to evaluators in 60 seconds.
For every active standing offer or supply arrangement, publish: vehicle name, vehicle reference number, period of standing, categories / streams covered, geographic regions covered, and 1-2 representative task authorizations or call-ups under the vehicle. Make this a dedicated section or page — evaluators search for it directly.
A standing offer (SO) is a pre-priced, pre-negotiated offer the government can call up. A supply arrangement (SA) is a pre-qualification list against which the government issues solicitations. Your site copy should not conflate the two: SOs imply pre-negotiated pricing visible to buyers; SAs imply you're pre-qualified but each task is bid separately. Mislabeling damages credibility with procurement-literate readers.
For each SO/SA, publish: vehicle name + reference number, period of standing, categories/streams covered, geographic regions covered, named senior contact for vehicle inquiries, 2-3 representative call-ups or task authorizations, and a download for the public capability statement aligned to that vehicle. Make this its own page (one per vehicle) — buyers search for them directly.
