Summary of the contracting process

NEPO, acting as a Central Purchasing Body, has established a multi-contractor, multi-lot framework agreement for civil engineering and infrastructure works, described under the title "Civil Engineering & Infrastructure Works". This procurement process, initiated under the ID NEPO211, is managed by the Association of North East Councils Limited and targets diverse civil engineering and infrastructure projects within the UK, with specific lots allocated by project value and location. The procurement stage is "Award", with significant milestones including the contract signed on 20th February 2025, reflecting a total framework value of £1,000,000,000. This opportunity covers administrative regions across the UK including Tees Valley, Durham, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, and various national projects with specific categories defined under CPV 45200000 - works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work.

This framework presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in civil engineering and infrastructure, particularly those capable of delivering projects of varying scales ranging from less than £1,000,000 to over £10,000,000. The framework's scope includes highways, local road improvements, land remediation, drainage works, and marine civil engineering projects, among others. It is ideally suited for both large enterprises and SMEs, as evidenced by the participation of a variety of suppliers such as Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Limited, BAM Nuttall Limited, and Applebridge Construction Limited. Companies that provide high-quality, competitively priced civil engineering solutions and have the capacity for national and regional projects would find significant growth opportunities within this framework.
