Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, facilitated by the Ministry of Justice, is for the "Accelerated Houseblock Delivery Programme - FAC-1," a substantial project in the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services sector. This procurement, classified under the CPV code 71000000, involves the delivery of services across multiple locations, including the United Kingdom, Europe, and British Overseas Territories. Initially carried out through an open procedure, the contract was awarded with a significant budget of £506,000,000. The contract period spans from 29th March 2022 to 31st December 2025. The tender stage has been completed, with the award status marked as active since 29th March 2022.

This contract presents a noteworthy opportunity for large-scale construction firms to engage in significant infrastructure work facilitated through a framework agreement. The project's complexity and scale, with geographical diversity, call for businesses with robust engineering, project management, and execution capabilities. While the current suppliers involved are Wates Construction Ltd and Kier Construction Limited, other businesses of similar scale can explore potential sub-contracting opportunities or position themselves for future tenders within this framework, leveraging expertise in comprehensive construction services.
