UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is planning to establish a Capital Works Framework which is currently in the planning stage. The procurement process will utilise an open procedure, focusing on building construction work, and falls under the industry category of works. This framework is set to support capital works for the Council's corporate estate and associated schools and is valued at up to £80,000,000. The target is to engage multiple suppliers covering a range of construction services and specialties under a single lot. The framework is anticipated to involve both mini competitions and direct awards. Although the tender notice was initially scheduled for 27th July 2026, it has been rescheduled to 1st October 2026, with the contracted period running from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2035, located in the South East region of England, specified as UKJ11.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses in the building construction industry to expand operations and secure substantial ongoing work. Ideal candidates include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) proficient in various construction specialties. The annual expenditure through this framework is expected to be between £5,000,000 and £8,000,000, providing extensive opportunities for growth. Businesses capable of delivering diversified construction services, as well as those comfortable with participating in both competitive bidding processes and direct award scenarios, will find this framework particularly advantageous in supporting sustained business growth.
