Summary of the contracting process

Manchester City Council is currently in the tender stage for a framework agreement focused on the supply of volumetric and ready-mix concrete, divided into two lots. The procurement method is an open procedure, underpinned by the legal basis referenced in UKPGA 2023/54, aiming to enter into a framework with up to three successful tenderers per lot. The deadline for tender submissions is set for 11:00 am on 15th December 2025, with the award anticipated by 17th February 2026. The contract is anticipated to begin on 1st April 2026 and may last up to four years, including possible renewals, set to be conducted in the UKD33 region, encompassing Manchester and its surroundings. The total estimated value is £624,000 gross, and the procurement process is framed to accommodate both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in concrete production and delivery services. The framework's division into two lots—segmenting volumetric truck mixer delivery and ready-mix concrete supply—allows businesses to bid on either one or both, depending on their capabilities. The procurement process values a blend of price competitiveness and quality, including social value and environmental considerations, thus fostering a wide range of business participation. Companies with robust logistical capabilities and competitive pricing strategies will find this tender particularly lucrative, as contracts are awarded through frameworks designed to allow direct awards based on price and availability. Engaging in this framework promises potential stable revenue streams over several years, facilitating business growth and success in the infrastructure and construction sector.
