UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

FIRST GREATER WESTERN LIMITED is soliciting bids for a Framework Agreement dedicated to Construction and Infrastructure Works, encompassing minor, major, and depot projects. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with a submission deadline for expressions of interest set for 5th December 2025. The framework will last for three years, with a possibility of a one-year extension. It comprises three lots: Minor Works, Stations Major Works, and Depot Works, with operations spanning across various regions in the United Kingdom, including UKI, UKJ, and UKK. This tender, classified under the construction and repair and maintenance services categories, is accessible to suitably qualified businesses via a competitive flexible procedure.

The tender presents lucrative opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly those experienced in delivering construction, refurbishment, and infrastructure projects in operational environments. Each lot within the framework demands a unique set of capabilities and experience; for example, the Minor Works lot requires expertise in small-scale building works, while the Stations Major Works and Depot Works lots call for experience with larger-scale projects. This could offer significant business growth for companies proficient in these areas, particularly those committed to sustainability and demonstrating technical and professional capability. Successful companies will benefit from future mini-competitions, providing ongoing prospects within the framework's three to four-year duration, thus reinforcing their position in the infrastructure development sector.
