Summary of the contracting process

The Communities & Housing Investment Consortium Ltd (CHIC) is undertaking a procurement process for the CHIC Consultancy Framework 2026–2030. This initiative aims to establish a multi-disciplinary consultancy framework accessible to both existing and prospective CHIC members. Covering an extensive array of professional consultancy services in the built environment sector, the framework will support various project phases—from inception to post-completion—and will include services such as building surveyance, contract administration, and quantity surveying. The procurement is managed through an open procedure and is currently at the tender stage, with key submission dates set: enquiries can be made until 11th March 2026, and final tender submissions are due by 18th March 2026. The executed framework agreement, offering national coverage and initially active from 30th June 2026, will conclude on 28th June 2030.

This consultancy framework creates significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses skilled in construction consulting, surveying, and design services. The invitation is tailored for SMEs and VCSEs, thereby presenting a substantial chance for smaller and community-focussed entities to integrate into larger supply chains and enhance their market reach. Establishing a relationship with CHIC through this framework could provide a steady flow of consultancy assignments across the UK, supporting organisational stability and expansion. The framework's open procedure and varied lot structure are designed to accommodate diverse business types capable of offering high-quality, timely, and cost-effective services across the construction and built environment sectors.

In a competitive selection process, any assessment of suppliers' proposals must be based on some or all of the award criteria used to assess tenders at framework award, which may be refined,e.g.,additional sub-criteria may be included or the criteria explained further.
