Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council is planning a significant procurement process titled "Housing Professional Services," which is currently in the planning stage. This initiative falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on real estate and quantity surveying services. The procurement process employs an open procedure, and it carries a gross budget of £4.8 million. This project, set in the UKF14 region of the United Kingdom, comprises two lots: Project Management and Quantity Surveying Services, and Architectural Design Services. The tender notice is anticipated to be market-ready by 29th June 2026, following a delay from previous dates. The contract is scheduled to commence on 24th August 2026, with a completion date of 26th August 2030.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in project management, architectural design, and quantity surveying. It is structured as a framework agreement, making it suitable for SMEs and VCSEs eager to engage in long-term government contracts. Firms with expertise in providing comprehensive housing-related services should find this an attractive proposition, as engaging with a public authority like Nottingham City Council could significantly enhance their business portfolio. Registering on the e-tendering platform is advisable for interested parties to receive timely notifications about this and future opportunities.
