Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is being conducted by Places for People Group Ltd, a sub-central government public authority located in London, UK. This invitation concerns the "National Groundworkers Framework," which encompasses construction work across various regions in the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently at the tender update stage, and notable deadlines include the tender period, which closes at noon on 28th July 2026. The procurement process utilises an open procedure, and the framework agreement allows for participation in multiple lots, with the award period set to conclude on 14th August 2026. The tender, which falls under the works category, involves a substantial investment of £294.8 million GBP and is classified above threshold, indicating a significant scope and potential impact.

This tender offers significant prospects for business growth, especially for companies within the construction sector. Businesses involved in groundworks, site preparation, foundation work, and related construction activities are ideal participants. The framework is structured to foster competition, as it allows bids from up to six suppliers per lot, with no limit on the number of lots a supplier can bid for or be appointed to. Considerable emphasis is placed on both qualitative and financial evaluation, prioritising the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) approach. Therefore, enterprises with strong financial standing that can demonstrate a minimum annual turnover of £10 million for most lots or £5 million for others will find this opportunity particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Participating in this framework could position a company as a key player in ongoing and forthcoming infrastructure projects across the specified regions in the UK.
