Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Estate, a central government public authority in London, is inviting tenders for a Project Management Framework, titled "Project Management Framework - ITT". This procurement process falls under the services category, focusing on Programme, Portfolio, and Change Management, along with Business Analysis services. It is currently at the tender stage, with significant deadlines including the tender period closing on 6th October 2025 and the award projected by 28th October 2025. The open procedure strategy has been adopted, and the tender is structured into two lots: Marine and Business Operations, with both targeting project management consultancy services in the United Kingdom. The total gross value of the framework is estimated at £48,000,000, set to commence on 24th November 2025 and run until 23rd November 2029.

This procurement opportunity is particularly beneficial for businesses specialising in project management consultancy, providing a robust platform to enhance and diversify their portfolio through collaboration with The Crown Estate. The framework offers substantial growth potential, especially for companies with expertise in offshore wind, marine surveys, and business operational excellence. With an emphasis on resource qualifications, strategic development, and knowledge transfer, businesses that demonstrate high-quality methodologies and commercial acumen stand a strong chance of winning a place on this framework. SMEs and VCSEs are also encouraged to participate, capitalising on the opportunity to deliver high-value services while contributing to the improved project management standards The Crown Estate seeks to establish through this framework.
