Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for a "Construction & Building Services Framework," primarily in the UKH14 region, encompassing Ipswich, United Kingdom. The initiative is part of a planned procurement under the public authority sub-central government category, aiming to service public sector construction and building works. A pipeline notice has been published on Find a Tender, slated for execution from 1st June 2027 to 31st May 2031. The framework, valued at £600 million gross, will be detailed further by 1st April 2026, and it is structured as a framework agreement, well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses in the construction industry, due to its substantial budget and long-term framework duration. The project emphasises SME involvement, making it ideal for smaller businesses looking to expand their operations in the public sector. By participating, companies can secure a foothold in the government contracting market, enhance their portfolios, and establish long-term relationships with public authorities such as Suffolk County Council.
