Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Limited, a public authority operating as a sub-central government body in Solihull, UK, is engaging in a procurement process titled "Professional Services Framework". The framework, active as of the latest update, targets construction-related services, building construction work, monitoring and control services, and engineering works. The procurement, set as an open procedure, aims to establish an eight-year framework to acquire services across three lots, focusing on Employers Agents, Valuations, and Multi-Disciplinary Services. The tender is currently in the tender update phase, with submission deadlines set to end on 11 August 2025 and prospective awards by 18 August 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth prospects, especially for firms specialising in construction-related professional services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in design and build contracts, project management, and quantity surveying are particularly well-suited to compete for this framework. The open nature of the procurement process and the recurring opportunities for reopening the framework during its tenure offer multiple entry points for businesses to secure long-term, meaningful contracts. Businesses providing quality services at competitive costs stand a high chance of capitalising on this opportunity, given the allocation criteria prioritising quality at 80% and cost at 20%.
