Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has awarded a contract for the "NERC Estates & Sustainability Professional Services Framework" with a total estimated value of £8,500,000. The awarded contract, which supports the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), covers services in architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection sectors. The framework agreement, active as of 6th March 2025, will last for four years and encompasses various estate management and sustainability services across the UK Managed Science Estate, primarily located in Swindon. The procurement was conducted through a restricted procedure, with specific award criteria that included technical quality, social value, and cost considerations.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in estate management, environmental sustainability, and construction project management. The framework is well-suited for large firms like AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited, which has been awarded the contract, but also offers potential growth opportunities for smaller and medium enterprises that can provide high-quality technical and consultancy services. Businesses involved in multidisciplinary disciplines such as condition surveys, strategic planning, and sustainability initiatives, as well as construction project services like civil and structural engineering, are particularly well-positioned to benefit from this contract. The framework aims to align with net-zero principles while maintaining the estate at RICS condition B, making it an ideal platform for businesses committed to environmental and sustainable practices to showcase their expertise and expand their reach within the public sector.
