Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council, acting as the buying organisation, is planning a procurement process titled "Highways and Infrastructure Works Framework." This framework aims to service the West Midlands region, covering a wide range of projects from minor highway improvements to significant civil engineering schemes. It falls within the construction industry category and is geared towards enhancing infrastructure such as roads and utilities. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 12th June 2025, and an anticipated start date for works on 15th January 2026. The framework is planned to run until 14th January 2034.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the construction and civil engineering sectors, especially those experienced in highway and infrastructure projects. Companies with capabilities in both design and construction, provision of buildability advice, and management of utility diversion projects could find numerous business avenues. The large-scale nature of the framework, with a value poised at £640 million (gross £768 million), opens doors for businesses seeking long-term partnership opportunities with sub-central government bodies like Birmingham City Council.

Notice Title

Highways and Infrastructure Works Framework

Notice Description

The contracting authority is seeking to establish the Framework Agreement as available also for use by or on behalf of local public sector bodies. The Framework Agreement will cover the geographical region of the West Midlands and will comprise minor highway improvements through to large civil engineering capital schemes (e.g. Ring Road improvements). These works will range from minor highway improvements, for examples new white lining, through various pedestrian and cycling improvements, to large scale infrastructure projects. The framework agreement will cover all works required to deliver highways and infrastructure projects for the Council including (but not limited to) the following: Buildability Advice - provision of construction advice during the development of the project for a supplier to act as a critical friend to the Council to challenge the feasibility and practicality of the proposals. The objective is to improve the quality of the tender specifications that are issued. To ensure there is no conflict of interest, the buildability advisor will not have expressed an interest in the construction of the project. Construct Only - delivery of works which have been designed by others. Design and Construct - where the contractor has responsibility for the design of some or all of a project as well as delivery of the works. Early Contractor Involvement - jointly, with the Council, designing and planning infrastructure projects in a cost effective and less adversarial structure. Utility Diversion and Protection Works - delivery of contestable and non-contestable works in connection with capital improvements. (Subject to Change)
