We are seeking to engage with the market at this early stage to help shape the scope, structure, and approach of the new framework. The framework will aim to provide a flexible, efficient, and value-driven mechanism for delivering highways-related projects across the Black Country. The framework is anticipated to be multi-lot and multi-supplier, with a potential duration of up to 4 years. We are looking to: Gauge interest from the market Understand capacity and capability Test assumptions around lotting strategy, contract structure, and delivery models Identify potential challenges or opportunities ahead of formal procurement. Once the framework goes live, it will be available for use by other public sector bodies within the West Midlands. If you would like to participate in the Preliminary Market Engagement, please complete and submit the questionnaire available on the Procontract portal - www.wolverhamptontenders.com where you will also be able to register your interest to attend a supplier engagement day. The supplier engagement day will be held on Tuesday 29 April at the Civic Centre, Wolverhampton. Further information is available via the Procontract portal.",
