Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited has successfully established a comprehensive Development Consultancy Framework, as announced on 7th May 2026. This framework, aimed at providing Employers Agent, Cost Consultancy, CDM Advisor, and Principal Designer Services across England, culminates a selective procurement process that incorporated a competitive flexible procedure. Services were required nationwide, covering key regions including Greater Manchester, London, and Leeds, among others. Envisaged to promote building safety and affordable housing, the framework is set until 2034 with contracts for services of varying durations up to eight years. The framework agreement notably facilitates direct awards, supporting broader sector collaboration under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023.

This framework provides significant opportunities for growth in the development consultancy industry. It positions itself as a key access point for businesses aiming to engage in ambitious housing and regeneration projects. SME consultancies are particularly well-suited for participation, given the emphasis on flexible regional coverage and the integration of comprehensive service delivery. The framework's design allows for ongoing chances to contract with both The Guinness Partnership and other associated bodies, maximising prospects for tendering for projects nationwide. Furthermore, with a suite of direct award mechanisms, it opens additional pathways for SMEs to secure work efficiently, bypassing lengthy competitive processes where applicable.
