Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council (HCC) has awarded a framework agreement titled "Structural Inspections & Minor Design Services Framework" to WSP UK Limited to carry out a comprehensive programme involving maintenance, new builds, rationalisation, and refurbishment of council estates and clients' properties. The procurement, classified under services, encompasses structural inspections and minor design work areas such as chimneys, boiler flues, and hidden roof spaces. Using an open procedure method, this contract will commence on 1st January 2026, running until 31st December 2029. The framework can be accessed by the Isle of Wight Council, Reading Borough Council, and other local authorities across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in structural engineering and design services, promoting business growth through diverse sectors. Although a single large supplier has been appointed, smaller companies specialising in these areas can benefit from subcontracting or partnership possibilities. The measured rates strategy offers predictable income for planned inspections, contributing to a stable financial environment. Enterprises with a robust capability in engineering design and consultancy services would be well-suited to engage with this framework, despite its single supplier setup, through call-off contracts within the term. The framework underscores the importance of quality criteria in capacity, resources, and management, providing businesses with clear objectives to enhance their service standards.
