Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons is currently managing a tender titled "CBIP Heritage and Town Planning Consultancy Services." This procurement process, classified under architectural, engineering, and planning services, is set in London, specifically in the UKI32 region. The primary aim is to acquire consultancy services to streamline strategy and coordination for the Commons Building Infrastructure Portfolio projects. As of 1st April 2026, the tender is in the active stage, with the expression of interest deadline being 28th April 2026 at midday. This selective procurement, deploying a competitive flexible procedure, will involve two stages: a Pre-Qualification Stage (PQS) and an Invitation to Tender (ITT) Stage, with a maximum of three shortlisted suppliers entering the ITT stage upon completing a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the heritage and town planning sectors, especially those capable of handling complex projects involving multiple stakeholders like Westminster County Council and Historic England.
