Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for a Market Engagement for a Construction Works Framework, classified under the industry category of 'Construction work' (CPV 45000000). The Council is seeking to gather feedback from external organisations on the proposed nature of the work, the composition of the lots, and the value of these lots, which are expected to total £850 million. The framework will run for up to four years and aligns with the transitional arrangements under the Procurement Act 2024. Interested parties should note the engagement end date of 12 May 2025. This tender process is specifically focused on the region of England, within the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction industry to partner with Wokingham Borough Council and secure long-term contracts through the proposed framework. Companies with substantial capacity and those experienced in delivering diverse construction-related services will find this an ideal opportunity to expand their business. Given the scale and duration of the framework, this engagement is well-suited for larger organisations rather than SMEs or VCSEs. The feedback gathered during the planning stage will be pivotal in shaping the final tender, making it a key time for potential suppliers to influence the structure and scope of the project.
