Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is planning a procurement process for the "Mechanical & Electrical Works Partnering Framework," a project focused on building installation work primarily for schools and other council buildings. The industry category is works, and the procurement employs an open procedure method. Currently in the planning stage, the framework agreement aims to ensure public buildings meet high standards and are cost-effective. Situated in the UKD4 region of the United Kingdom, the planned timeline for contract commencement is September 1, 2025, and conclusion on August 31, 2029, with documentation and further notices expected around July 1, 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the engineering sector, particularly those specialising in mechanical and electrical installations. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to its open procedure and rotational allocation approach. Businesses that can provide heating refurbishments, electrical rewiring, or equipment installation will find growth opportunities through direct engineering projects as part of the framework agreement valued at GBP 18,000,000. The tender, above threshold in value, allows Lancashire County Council flexibility to award contracts directly where beneficial, underlining the potential for tailored business collaborations.
