UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

CADENT GAS LIMITED, a prominent private utility in the United Kingdom, is currently in the planning stage of procuring a framework agreement for "Property Professional Services." This procurement process is aimed at supporting their Depot Improvement Programme under the RIIO3 price control period. The tender focuses on the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry, and is pertinent to regions including the East Midlands, East Anglia, London, North West, and West Midlands. The deadline for expressing interest in the preliminary market engagement stage is 29th August 2025. Cadent Gas, based in Coventry, is seeking feedback on the proposed scope before initiating the formal tender process later this year. This initiative will potentially lead to a framework covering the service period from December 2025 to December 2030, with possible extensions up to 2033.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in project management, engineering, architecture, and construction services. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in the public utilities domain, particularly those with experience in national coverage and a turnover of at least £5 million annually, would be well-suited to compete in this tender. The framework aims to leverage services such as feasibility studies, project and construction management, and technical design, thus catering to firms that offer comprehensive pre-construction and construction phase advice, as well as post-handover support. Participation in this tender could enable businesses to enhance their reputation as partners in large-scale infrastructural projects and secure continuous work through the framework's duration.
