UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Huddersfield is in the planning stage of its Professional Services Framework B, targeting industries such as project management, quantity surveying, building surveying, landscape architecture, and environmental consultancy. This procurement process, initiated as a tender, involves the issuance of five remaining lots in March 2026, building upon the already conducted Framework A sessions. The university, located in Huddersfield, United Kingdom, is conducting virtual engagement sessions to prepare bidders for the release of the Selection Stage Questionnaire and Invitation to Tender, with a due date for these engagement sessions set for 20 March 2026. The framework agreement is scheduled to begin on 1 August 2026 and end on 31 July 2030, valued at £8.5 million, offering substantial opportunities for eligible services providers.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in relevant consultancy services to secure long-term contracts with a public authority. Firms involved in project management, surveying in various forms, landscape architectural design, environmental management, and sustainability consultancy are particularly well-suited to compete. The framework format allows for multiple service providers across different lots, creating openings for both niche companies and larger consultancies. Engaging in this tender could not only bring financial growth but also contribute to a firm's reputation by associating with a reputable academic institution. Interested businesses are encouraged to reach out to Category Managers Jack Booker or Ben Burhouse for more information on participating in the upcoming framework development sessions.
