This process, classified under the industry category of Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work (CPV code: 45200000), involves establishing a single supplier framework for various civil engineering projects funded through the UK Government's Levelling Up initiative. The procurement stage has reached completion, with a contract signed on 20 August 2025.
