UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Constructing West Midlands 3 - Construction Framework" is currently in the planning stage and is being managed by ACIVICO (Design, Construction and Facilities Management) Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Birmingham, UK. This procurement is part of the construction industry category and is intended to cover various locations across the United Kingdom, specifically in regions such as UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. Key activities include new builds, extensions, renovations, and other construction-related projects. The current market engagement phase requires interested Principal Works Contractors to submit a questionnaire by 19th September 2025. The framework's gross value is anticipated to be £3 billion, and it will span from September 2026 to August 2030, with potential extensions up to 2033.

This tender process represents a substantial opportunity for business growth within the construction sector, especially for Principal Works Contractors. Firms specialising in construction work, architectural services, engineering, and project management are well-poised to benefit. The framework is expected to be tendered in lots, with specific provisions to include Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), fostering wider participation and competition. Moreover, as the process may involve collaborative procurement efforts with other contracting authorities, participating businesses have the potential to expand their reach and portfolio of projects.
