Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is seeking contractors for capital works, planned maintenance, refurbishment, lifecycle replacement and associated construction work across its operational and corporate property portfolio. The requirement covers a range of construction projects that may vary in size, complexity, value and risk. This is a construction works opportunity, with associated repair and maintenance activity. The work is for the Council’s estate in Bracknell Forest. The Council plans to use the arrangement to commission works across its properties through a flexible route, rather than as a single defined construction project. Businesses delivering building works, property refurbishment, planned maintenance or replacement of building components are within the scope of the requirement.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure to establish a multi-supplier open framework. The enquiry deadline was 12 November 2026 at 15:00, and the bid deadline was 26 November 2026 at 15:00. The intended framework start date is 1 April 2027, with a maximum term of eight years, ending 31 March 2035. Its estimated value is £80 million excluding VAT (£96 million including VAT). The Council intends to appoint up to eight contractors. The framework is planned as three successive periods of three, three and two years, with each subsequent framework reopening around six months before the current one expires. The award decision was due by 22 January 2027. Evaluation weights technical quality at 55%, price at 40% and social value at 5%.

The opportunity is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers in those categories may find the framework accessible. It suits contractors able to deliver construction and property-related work across a varied public estate, including planned maintenance, refurbishment, lifecycle replacement and associated works. The range of project sizes, complexity and risk profiles points to a need for adaptable delivery capability; contractors should be equipped to take on work of differing scopes rather than relying on one narrowly defined project type. The Council is seeking suitably qualified and experienced contractors, and expects to select a panel of up to eight. Social value contributes to the evaluation alongside technical quality and price.
