Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has awarded a contract for the "UKRI-3652 NERC Estates & Sustainability Professional Services Framework" to AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited. This project, valued at £8,500,000, involves providing a range of services including estate management, environmental sustainability, and construction project management for the Natural Environment Research Council’s (NERC) UK Managed Science Estate. Located in the South West region, the contract will span four years, commencing from 10th March 2025 to 28th February 2029. The procurement, now at the award stage, employed a restricted procedure under a selective procurement method, with the tender period closing on 6th March 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services to engage in a high-value, multi-year project with a prominent public sector organisation. Companies experienced in large-scale estate management and sustainability projects, particularly those familiar with working within the environmental research sector, would be well-suited to this framework. Although the process was restrictive and not open to SMEs or VCSEs, other large-scale enterprises with expertise in similar fields could look to such opportunities to expand their portfolios and secure stable, long-term projects.
