Summary of the contracting process

The University of Northumbria at Newcastle has completed a procurement process for the "T24/0035 Clerk of Works Framework," within the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category. This particular contract is aimed at supporting the University’s ambitious estate development projects, entailing new builds and refurbishments over the coming years. The framework contract, valued at £800,000, will span four years and allows the University to call off services as needed. The procurement stage has advanced from tender to award, with contracts signed on 12 June 2025. The project is located in Tyneside, UKC22 region, utilising an open procurement method.

The establishment of this framework contract presents growth opportunities, particularly for businesses experienced in construction management and supervision services. Companies like Ryder Levett Bucknall UK Ltd, which have already been awarded contracts under this framework, demonstrate the potential for large construction firms to engage. However, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with relevant expertise could also find opportunities, given the University's openness to engaging with diverse economic operators. The framework’s potential for renewal and prohibition on variant bids highlights a stable and predictable work stream suited for firms aiming to partner long-term with public sector entities.
