Summary of the contracting process

Scape Procure Limited is in the planning stage of establishing a Corporate Services Framework covering England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. As a public authority under sub-central government, they are preparing to launch a series of market engagement events starting on 5 February 2026 and concluding with webinars by 24 February 2026. These events are designed to inform prospective suppliers about the framework's structure, lot values, and tendering process. The framework intends to cover three primary lots: Advisory Services, Legal Services, and Audit Services with projected values up to £1.2bn, £300m, and £150m respectively. The procurement is set under the tender initiation type with the legal basis from UK legislation 2023/54. Interested parties can anticipate the tender notice by 23 March 2026, with the contract duration planned from 15 March 2027 to 14 March 2031.

This procurement process presents a substantial business growth opportunity for firms in financial consultancy, legal advisory, auditing, IT, environmental, project management, and other related professional services. The significant lot values and specified annual turnover requirements suggest that well-established firms with robust capabilities in these sectors are well-suited to apply. Businesses involved in management consultancy, legal services, or those offering a combination of services outlined in the CPV codes stand to gain considerably from engaging in this framework, providing them with a potential platform to reinforce their expertise across multiple UK regions. By engaging in the early market engagement sessions, companies have the opportunity to shape the final tender requirements to suit their specialties, ensuring they can effectively compete when the tender is formally announced.
