Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons, acting jointly, have established the FWK1150 Parliamentary Construction Partnership Framework (CPF) to facilitate capital investment and maintenance projects across the Parliamentary Estate, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with iconic buildings such as the Palace of Westminster and Norman Shaw North. This Framework has replaced the prior MEPFS Framework and supports the delivery of projects under the Medium-Term Investment Plan (MTIP) into the early 2030s. The procurement process, governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, utilised an open procedure with the award made on 15 October 2025. The Framework includes multiple lots ranging from high-value construction works over £50 million to low-value works under £5 million. Projects are managed via mini-competitions or direct awards based on NEC4 contracts, with performance monitored via defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

This Framework presents significant opportunities for businesses across various construction disciplines including high-value mixed-discipline undertakings, mechanical and electrical works, and architectural, structural, and heritage-focused projects. It is designed to attract businesses with robust supply chains and the capacity for direct involvement, ensuring projects meet high-quality standards. Large-scale suppliers like Kier Construction Limited, Bovis Construction (Europe) Limited, and Wates Construction Limited, as well as SMEs such as Thomas Sinden Ltd and Emico Ltd, have been awarded contracts under this framework. This diverse arrangement allows enterprises of different sizes and expertise to access substantial projects, making it advantageous for both established firms and those aiming to broaden their scope into high-profile historic restorations and contemporary infrastructure developments within the UK's parliamentary precinct.
