Summary of the contracting process

The West of England Combined Authority, in collaboration with multiple councils including Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council, South Gloucestershire Council, and Bath and North East Somerset Council, has initiated a procurement process for the "Provision of a Professional Services Framework." This process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract valued at £40 million, intended to run from 1 January 2020 until 31 December 2023. Enterprises can expect a spend of £24 million to £35 million among the core authorities, with an additional £5 million from supplementary authorities. The tender period concluded on 28 August 2019, and the procurement follows an open procedure methodology, aiming to establish a framework agreement supporting regional infrastructure projects.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the framework's intent to limit suppliers—typically to three, with potential for a fourth under certain conditions. Businesses adept in multidisciplinary and environmental engineering consultancy services would be well-suited to compete. The framework's operation leverages both direct award and further competition, making it an advantageous platform for organisations seeking to expand their project engagements within the region.
